1 Corinthians 6:1-4
Lawsuits Discouraged
1 Does any one of you, when he has a (a)case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and (A)not before the (b)saints?
2 Or (B)do you not know that (C)the (c)saints will judge (D)the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to (d)constitute the smallest law courts?
3 (E)Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, (e)do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
