1 Corinthians 6:1-8

Common English Bible CEB

1 When someone in your assembly has a legal case against another member, do they dare to take it to court to be judged by people who aren't just, instead of by God's people?

2 Or don't you know that God's people will judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to judge trivial cases?

3 Don't you know that we will judge angels? Why not ordinary things?

4 So then if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint people as judges who aren't respected by the church?

5 I'm saying this because you should be ashamed of yourselves! Isn't there one person among you who is wise enough to pass judgment between believers?

6 But instead, does a brother or sister have a lawsuit against another brother or sister, and do they do this in front of unbelievers?

7 The fact that you have lawsuits against each other means that you've already lost your case. Why not be wronged instead? Why not be cheated?

8 But instead you are doing wrong and cheating—and you're doing it to your own brothers and sisters.

New International Version NIV

1 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?

2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?

5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?

6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!

7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.
