1 Corinthians 6

¹Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints?

²Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

³Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world?

⁴If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.

⁵I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren?

⁶But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

⁷Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

⁸But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.

⁹Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,

¹⁰Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.

¹¹And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.

¹²All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
