1 Corinthians 6:1-4

Lawsuits Against Believers

¹ When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous _r instead of the saints? ² Or do you not know that _s the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? ³ Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! ⁴ So if you have such cases, _t why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?
