1 Corinthians 6:1-6

CJB

NIV

1 How dare one of you with a complaint against another go to court before pagan judges and not before God's people?
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 Don't you know that God's people are going to judge the universe? If you are going to judge the universe, are you incompetent to judge these minor matters?
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 Don't you know that we will judge angels, not to mention affairs of everyday life?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
4 So if you require judgments about matters of everyday life, why do you put them in front of men who have no standing in the Messianic Community?
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, shame on you! Can it be that there isn't one person among you wise enough to be able to settle a dispute between brothers?
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 Instead, a brother brings a lawsuit against another brother, and that before unbelievers!
6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!
