1 Corinthians 6:1-11 - Lawsuits Between Believers

¹ Dare any of you having a business with another be judged by the wicked, and not by the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the lowest courts? ³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If then you have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of the most abject in the church? ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers? ⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

⁷ Now therefore there is a great fault among you, that you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer injustice? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But you injure and defraud, and that your brothers. ⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
