Lawsuits between Believers

6Does anyone among you, if he* has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the most insignificant courts? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention ordinary matters? 4Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seata these despised people in the church? 5I say this to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers? 6But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers! 7Therefore it is already completely a loss for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8But you wrong and defraud, and do this to brothers!

9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners, 10nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And some of you were these things, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesusb and by 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.
