I Corinthians 6:1-11
\nLawsuits Against Believers<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 05\/02\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 6:1-11.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[King James Version]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. What does it mean to “go to law before the unjust”?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. When will the saints judge the world?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. When will the saints judge the angels, and why are the angels judged?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Why did Paul call those who hold positions of judgment in society “who are least esteemed in the Church”?<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Is the advice to endure injustice and be cheated better than suing in a worldly court implying tolerating wrongdoing and cheating in the Church?<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What is Paul’s point in verses 9, 10, and 11?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. How would you resolve a dispute with someone in the church?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. How would you resolve a situation where someone in the Church does something wrong or cheats you?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
