1 Corinthians 6:1-8

1Does any one of you, when he has a 1case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and 2not before the 3saints? 2Or 4do you not know that 5the 6saints will judge 7the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to 8constitute the smallest law courts? 39Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? 4So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, 10do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 511I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his 12brethren, 6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 13unbelievers?

7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 14Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your 15brethren.
