1 Dare anyone of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the holy ones? 2 Have you not known that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smaller judgments? 3 Have you not known that we will judge messengers? Why not then the things of life? 4 Of the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the Assembly—these you cause to sit; 5 I speak to your shame: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who will be able to discern in the midst of his brothers! 6 But brother with brother goes to be judged, and this before unbelievers! 7 Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that you have judgments with one another; why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why not be defrauded? 1 Corinthians 6:1-7, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
