1 Corinthians 6:1-8

New Matthew Bible

He rebukes them for going to law against each other before the heathen, and reproves uncleanness.

6 How dare one of you, having a problem with another, go to law under the unrighteous, and not rather under the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world will be judged by you, are you not good enough to judge small trifles? ³ Do you not know that we will judge the angels? How much more may we judge things that pertain to this life? ⁴ If you have trials of worldly matters, take those who are least esteemed in the congregation and make them judges. ⁵ This I say to your shame. Is there really no wise man among you? What, no one at all who can judge between brother and brother? ⁶ But one brother goes to law against another, and that under the unbelievers?

⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a failing among you, because you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather suffer yourselves to be robbed? ⁸ Nay, you yourselves do wrong, and rob – and that the brethren.
