1 Corinthians 6:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Does any of you who has a complaint against someone dare go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest cases?

3 Do you not know that we will judge angels-not to speak of things pertaining to this life?

4 So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?

5 I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who will be able to arbitrate between his brothers?

6 Instead, brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

7 Therefore, it is already a total defeat for you that you have lawsuits against one another. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather be cheated?

8 Instead, you act unjustly and cheat-and this to brothers!

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.
