1 Corinthians 6:1-8 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
When any of you has a grievance against another, do you dare to take it to court before the unrighteous, instead of taking it before the saints?
2
Do you not know that the 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—to say nothing of ordinary matters?
4
If you have ordinary cases, then, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?
5
I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to decide between one believer a and another,
6
but a believer b goes to court against a believer c —and before unbelievers at that?
7
In fact, to have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8
But you yourselves wrong and defraud—and believers d at that.
