New American Standard Bible 1995

1 Corinthians 6:3-10

3 1Do 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, 2do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 3I 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 4brethren, 6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 5unbelievers?

7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 6Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your 7brethren.

9Or 8do you not know that the unrighteous will not 9inherit the kingdom of God? 10Do not be deceived; 11neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 12effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will 13inherit the kingdom of God.
