1 Corinthians 6:3-10
New International Version
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you.(A) Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?(B) 6 But instead, one brother(C) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!(D)
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?(E) 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.(F) 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?(G) Do not be deceived:(H) Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers(I) nor men who have sex with men[a](J) 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers(K) will inherit the kingdom of God.
