1 ) Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
-
2 ) Do all of you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are all of you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
-
3 ) Know all of you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
-
4 ) If then all of you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
-
5 ) I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
-
6 ) But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
-
7 ) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because all of you go to law one with another. Why do all of you not rather endure wrong? why do all of you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
-
8 ) Nay, all of you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
-
9 ) Know all of you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
-
10 ) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
-
11 ) And such were some of you: but all of you are washed, but all of you are sanctified, but all of you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
