Do Not Litigate among Believers; Lives Transformed
1 Corinthians 6:1-11
1Dare any one of you, having a matter against the other, go to court before the unjust and not before the holy?2Or do you not know that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is judged among you, are you unworthy of the smallest courts?3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more, matters of this life?4On the other hand, therefore, if you have courts of this life, do you seat in the assembly those who are rejected?5I say this to your shame. Is there no wise person among you who will be able to judge between brother and brother?6But brother is judged with brother, and this before unbelievers.7Already therefore it is altogether a loss for you that you have judgments among yourselves. Why not rather be harmed? Why not rather be defrauded?8But you harm and defraud, and this to brothers.9Or do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray: neither sexual sinners, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor soft ones, nor sodomites10nor thieves, nor greedy ones, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rapacious ones will inherit the kingdom of God.11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.
