A True Christian May not Always Insist on His Own Right
1 Corinthians 6:1-8
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?…


I. IT MAY INDICATE A WANT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE.

1. This is evident where brethren sue each other.

2. Even the party wronged should rather yield than encourage strife and hatred.

3. To press his cause before the world is to dishonour Christ.

II. IT IS THE FIRST STEP TO ACTUAL SIN.

1. It breeds selfishness, wrong, fraud.

2. And that among brethren.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
