6 Sino que un creyente
demanda a otro, ¡justo frente a los incrédulos!

1 Corintios 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:6

But brother goeth to law with brother
The relation meant is spiritual; it was usual for members of churches to be called brethren, they professing to be born again of the same Father, and belonging to the same family under Christ, the son, firstborn, and master of it: and a very wicked and shameful thing it was, that persons in such a relation, being of such a family, should go to law with one another at all:

and that before the unbelievers;
which is an aggravation of their sin and folly. The apostle before calls them "unjust", now "infidels", such as had no faith in Christ, disbelieved the Messiah, and denied the whole Gospel, and therefore no faith or confidence should be put in them; for, generally speaking, such as have no faith, are not only wicked, but unreasonable men, men of no reason, conscience, justice, and equity; and therefore very improper persons for believers to bring their causes before.

1 Corintios 6:6 In-Context

4 Si tienen conflictos legales acerca de tales asuntos, ¿por qué acuden a jueces que son de afuera y no son respetados por la iglesia?

5 Digo esto para que se avergüencen. ¿No hay nadie en toda la iglesia con suficiente sabiduría para decidir sobre esos temas?

6 Sino que un creyente
demanda a otro, ¡justo frente a los incrédulos!

7 El hecho de que tengan semejantes demandas legales unos contra otros es en sí una derrota para ustedes. ¿Por qué mejor no aceptar la injusticia y dejar el asunto como está? ¿Por qué no se dejan estafar?

8 En cambio, son ustedes mismos los que hacen lo malo y estafan aun a sus propios hermanos en Cristo.
