1 Corinthians 6:1-8
1Does any one of you, when he has a 1case against 2his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and 3not before the 4saints? 2Or 5do you not know that 6the 7saints will judge 8the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to form the smallest 9law courts? 310Do 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, 11do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 512I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his 13brothers and sisters, 6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 14unbelievers?
7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 15Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your 16brothers and sisters!
