Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Book of 1 Corinthians Chapter 6 - Read Chapter 6:1 - [In Context ]When one of you has something against another person, why do you go to {the judges in the law courts}? Those people are not right with God. So why do you let those people decide who is right? You should be ashamed! Why don't you let God's people decide who is right?
6:2 - [In Context ]Surely you know that God's people will judge the world. So if you will judge the world, then surely you are able to judge small things {like this}.
6:3 - [In Context ]You know that in the future we will judge angels. So surely we can judge things in this life.
6:4 - [In Context ]So if you have those disagreements that must be judged, why do you take those things to people who are not part of the church? Those people mean nothing to the church.
6:5 - [In Context ]I say this to shame you. Surely there is some person in your group wise enough to judge a complaint between two brothers (believers)!
6:6 - [In Context ]But now one brother goes to court against another brother. You let men that are not believers judge their case!
