Or know ye not that, the saints, shall judge the world? And, if, by you, the world, is to be judged, unworthy are ye of the smallest judgment-seats?

If, then, for matters of this, life ye have judgment-seats, them who are of no account in the assembly, these, are ye seating thereupon?

but they are all expos'd to the judgment of the spiritual, whilst he himself is not subject to the judgment of any man.

Now the natural person [Note: Since this person is contrasted with the spiritual person of verse 15, it is taken here to mean the person without the Holy Spirit] does not receive the things [i.e., truths] revealed by the Holy Spirit of God, because they are [considered] foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them because they must be discerned by using spiritual judgment [i.e., judgment aided by the Holy Spirit].

[the quality of] each person's work will become evident [i.e., for what is it made of]. For the [judgment] day will expose his workmanship. And it will be revealed by the fire [of judgment], which will test the quality of a person's workmanship [i.e., the faithfulness of his converts].

Dare any of you, having, a matter against his brother, sue for judgment before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

But, happier, is she, if, so, she remain, - in my judgment; for I think, I also, have the Spirit of God.

For, he that is eating and drinking, - judgment unto himself, doth eat and drink, - if he be not setting apart the body.

If, however, we had been setting, ourselves, apart, we had not, in that case, been coming under judgment;

But, being brought under judgment, by the Lord, are we being disciplined, lest, with the world, we should be condemned.

If anyone be hungry, at home, let him eat, lest, unto judgment, ye be coming together. And, the remaining things, whensoever I come, I will set in order.
