1 Corinthians 6:1-11 - Lawsuits Between Believers
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, refer it to the unjust, and not to the saints? 2 Know ye not, that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not, that we shall judge angels? 4 How much more things pertaining to this life? If then ye have any controversies of things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no esteem in the church? 5 I speak to your shame. What, is there not so much as one wise man among you, that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and this before the infidels.
7 Indeed even this is altogether a fault among you, that ye have contests with each other. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? 8 Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, even your brethren. 9 Know ye not, that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, 10 nor sodomites, Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor revilers, nor the rapacious shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
