1 Corinthians 6:1-8

Lawsuits Against Believers

1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous ^ainstead of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that ^bthe saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, ^cwhy do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 ^dI say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? 7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. ^eWhy not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even ^fyour own brothers! ^{▼
