1 Corinthians 6:1-9

NAS

NIV

1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?
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 saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
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 matters of this life?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
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 your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,
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 brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!
7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
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 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.
8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
