¹When one of you has a complaint against another, how dare you go to court to settle the matter in front of wicked people. Why don’t you settle it in front of God’s holy people? ²Don’t you know that God’s people will judge the world? So if you’re going to judge the world, aren’t you capable of judging insignificant cases? ³Don’t you know that we will judge angels, not to mention things in this life? ⁴When you have cases dealing with this life, why do you allow people whom the church has a low opinion of to be your judges? ⁵You should be ashamed of yourselves! Don’t you have at least one wise person who is able to settle disagreements between believers? ⁶Instead, one believer goes to court against another believer, and this happens in front of unbelievers.

⁷You are already totally defeated because you have lawsuits against each other. Why don’t you accept the fact that you have been wronged? Why don’t you accept that you have been cheated? ⁸Instead, you do wrong and cheat, and you do this to other believers.

⁹Don’t you know that wicked people won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Stop deceiving yourselves! People who continue to commit sexual sins, who worship false gods, those who commit adultery, homosexuals, ¹⁰or thieves, those who are greedy or drunk, who use abusive language, or who rob people will not inherit God’s kingdom. ¹¹That’s what some of you were! But you have been washed and made holy, and you have received God’s approval in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Read in Logos

1 Corinthians 6:11: And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
