1 Corinthians 6 1-1 Corinthians 6 7
If any of you has a dispute against another, how dare you take it to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the trivial cases?Don’t you know that we will judge angels— how much more matters of this life?So if you have such matters, do you appoint as your judges those who have no standing in the church?I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between fellow believers?Instead, brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers!As it is, to have legal disputes against one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
