1 Corinthians 6:1-9

1Does anyG5100 oneG5100 of you, when he hasG2192 a 1caseG4229 againstG4314 his neighborG2087, dareG5111 to goG2919 to lawG2919 beforeG1909 the unrighteousG94 and 2not beforeG1909 the 3saintsG40? 2OrG2228 4do you not knowG3609 that 5the 6saintsG40 will judgeG2919 7the worldG2889? IfG1487 the worldG2889 is judgedG2919 by you, are you not competentG370 to 8constitute the smallestG1646 lawG2922 courtsG2922? 3 9Do you not knowG3609 that we will judgeG2919 angelsG32? HowG3386 muchG3386 moreG3386 mattersG982 of this lifeG982? 4SoG3767 ifG1437 you haveG2192 lawG2922 courtsG2922 dealing with mattersG982 of this lifeG982, 10do you appointG2523 them as judges who are of noG1848 accountG1848 in the churchG1577? 5 11I sayG3004 this to your shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG1762 is not amongG1722 you oneG3762 wiseG4680 manG4680 whoG3739 will be ableG1410 to decideG1252 betweenG303 G3319 his 12brethrenG80, 6but brotherG80 goesG2919 to lawG2919 with brotherG80, and that beforeG1909 13unbelieversG571?

7ActuallyG3654, thenG3767, it is alreadyG2235 a defeatG2275 for you, that you haveG2192 lawsuitsG2917 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 14WhyG1223 G5101 not ratherG3123 be wrongedG91? WhyG1223 G5101 not ratherG3123 be defraudedG650? 8On the contraryG235, you yourselvesG4771 wrongG91 and defraudG650. You do thisG3778 evenG2532 to your 15brethrenG80.

9OrG2228 16do you not knowG3609 that the unrighteousG94 will not 17inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 18Do not be deceivedG4105; 19neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 20effeminateG3120, norG3777 homosexualsG733,
