1 How is it that anyone of you, having a dispute against another, would dare to be judged before the iniquitous, and not before the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints from this age shall judge it? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy, then, to judge even the smallest matters? {6:3} Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things of this age? 4 Therefore, if you have matters to judge concerning this age, why not appoint those who are most contemptible in the Church to judge these things! 5 But I am speaking so as to shame you. Is there no one among you wise enough, so that he might be able to judge between his brothers? 6 Instead, brother contends against brother in court, and this before the unfaithful! 7 Now there is certainly an offense among you, beyond everything else, when you have court cases against one another. Should you not accept injury instead? Should you not endure being cheated instead? 8 But you are doing the injuring and the cheating, and this toward brothers! 9 Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers, 10 nor the effeminate, nor males who sleep with males, nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor the inebriated, nor slanderers, nor the rapacious shall possess the kingdom of God. 11 And some of you were like this. But you have been absolved, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified: all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
