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 anyone wise who will be able to decide between his 4brothers and sisters, 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 suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your 7brothers and sisters!

9Or 8do you not know that the unrighteous will not 9inherit the kingdom of God? 10Do not be deceived; 11neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 12homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will 13inherit the kingdom of God.
