1 Corinthians 6:1-6

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Suppose one of you wants to bring a charge against another believer. Should you take it to the ungodly to be judged? Why not take it to God's people?

2 Don't you know that God's people will judge the world? And if you are going to judge the world, aren't you able to judge small cases?

3 Don't you know that we will judge angels? Then we should be able to judge the things of this life even more!

4 So if you want to press charges in matters like that, appoint as judges members of the church who aren't very important!

5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that no one among you is wise enough to judge matters between believers?

6 Instead, one believer goes to court against another. And this happens in front of unbelievers!

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!
