1 Corinthians 6:2
_ _ Do ye not know — as a truth universally recognized by Christians. Notwithstanding all your glorying in your “knowledge,” ye are acting contrary to it (1 Corinthians 1:4, 1 Corinthians 1:5; 1 Corinthians 8:1). The oldest manuscripts have “Or” before “know ye not”; that is, “What! (expressing surprise) know ye not,” etc.
_ _ saints ... judge — that is, “rule,” including judgment: as assessors of Christ. Matthew 19:28, “judging,” that is, “ruling over.” (Compare Psalms 49:14; Daniel 7:22, Daniel 7:27; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 3:21; Revelation 20:4). There is a distinction drawn by able expositors between the saints who judge or rule, and the world which is ruled by them: as there is between the elected (Matthew 20:23) twelve apostles who sit on thrones judging, and the twelve tribes of Israel that are judged by them. To reign, and to be saved, are not necessarily synonymous. As Jehovah employed angels to carry the law into effect when He descended on Sinai to establish His throne in Israel, so at His coming the saints shall administer the kingdom for, and under, Him. The nations of the earth, and Israel the foremost, in the flesh, shall, in this view, be the subjects of the rule of the Lord and His saints in glorified bodies. The mistake of the Chiliasts was that they took the merely carnal view, restricting the kingdom to the terrestrial part. This part shall have place with the accession of spiritual and temporal blessings such as Christ’s presence must produce. Besides this earthly glory, there shall be the heavenly glory of the saints reigning in transfigured bodies, and holding such blessed intercourse with mortal men, as angels had with men of old, and as Christ, Moses, and Elias, in glory had with Peter, James, and John, in the flesh at the transfiguration (2 Timothy 2:12; 2 Peter 1:16-18). But here the “world” seems to be the unbelieving world that is to be “condemned” (1 Corinthians 11:22), rather than the whole world, including the subject nations which are to be brought under Christ’s sway; however, it may include both those to be condemned, with the bad angels, and those about to be brought into obedience to the sway of Christ with His saints. Compare Matthew 25:32, Matthew 25:40, “all nations,” “these my brethren” on the thrones with Him. The event will decide the truth of this view.
_ _ judged by you — or, before you (compare 1 Corinthians 3:22).
_ _ smallest matters — The weightiest of earthly questions at issue are infinitely small compared with those to be decided on the judgment-day. |
1 Corinthians 6:2
Know ye not — This expression occurs six times in this single chapter, and that with a peculiar force; for the Corinthians knew and gloried in it, but they did not practise. That the saints — After having been judged themselves. Shall judge the world — Shall be assessors with Christ in the judgment wherein he shall condemn all the wicked, as well angels as men, Matthew 19:28; Revelation 20:4. |
1 Corinthians 6:2
(3) 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?
(3) He gathers by a comparison that the faithful cannot seek to be judged by infidels, without great injury done to the saints, seeing that God himself will make the saints judges of the world, and of the devils, with his Son Christ. Much more ought they to judge these light and final causes which may be by equity, and good conscience determined. |

Revelation 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ... And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
1 John 2:16-17 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ... And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
