NASB — 1 Corinthians 6 — KJV

Lawsuits Discouraged

1 Does any° one° of you, when he has° a Icase° against° his neighbor°, dare° to go° to law° before° the unrighteous° and anot before° the IIsaints°? 2 Or° ado you not know° that bthe Isaints° will judge° cthe world°? If° the world° is judged° by you, are you not competent° [to] II[constitute] the smallest° law° courts°? 3 aDo you not know° that we will judge° angels°? How° much° more° matters° of this life°? 4 So° if° you have° law° courts° dealing with matters° of this life°, Ido you appoint° them as judges who are of no° account° in the church°? 5 aI say° [this] to your shame°. [Is it] so°, [that] there° is not among° you one° wise° man° who° will be able° to decide° between°° his bbrethren°, 6 but brother° goes° to law° with brother°, and that before° aunbelievers°?

The Corinthians must not vex their brethren, in going to law with them:

1 ¶ Dareºª anyº of you,º havingºª a matterº againstº another,º go to lawºª beforeº the² unjust,º andº notº beforeº the² saints?º 2 Do ye¹ª notº knowºª thatº the² saintsº shall judgeºª the² world?º andº ifº the² worldº shall be judgedºª byº you,º are² ye¹ª unworthyº to judge¹ the smallest matters?º² 3 Know² ye¹ª notº thatº we shall judgeºª angels?º how much moreº¹ things that pertain to this life?º 4 Ifº thenº¹ ye² haveºª judgmentsº of things pertaining to this life,º setºª themº to judge who are least esteemedºª inº the² church.º 5 I speakºª to² yourº shame.º¹ Is it so,º that there¹ª is² notº a wise manº amongº you?º no, notº oneº thatº shall be ableºª to judgeºª betweenºº his¹² brethren?º
