1 Corinthians 6:1

Do Not Sue the Brethren

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the ^asaints?

2 Do you not know that ^athe saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Do you not know that we shall ^ajudge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

4 If then you have¹ judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. ^aWhy do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?
