Bible Question:
hi everyone, I was trying to find the scripture that mentions christians working things out amongst themselves instead of going to court for it. I know it was in the new testament, I thought it was in colossians, but I can't seem to find it. I know it's one of paul's letters. if anyone could guide me to it, that would rule. thank you |
Bible Answer: Hello alfalfa, 1 Cor 6:1-8 (ESV) When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? [2] Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? [3] Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! [4] So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? [5] I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, [6] but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? [7] To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? [8] But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers!
