Read in context

1 Corinthians 6:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4 So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

5 I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?
