1 Corinthians
Chapter 6
1
When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers!
2
Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves?
3
Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life.
4
If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?
5
I am saying this to shame you. Isn’t there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues?
6
But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers!
