2. Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3. Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things that pertain to this life?
4. If then you have judgments dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint as judges those who are least esteemed in the church?
5. I speak to your shame. Is it true that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to judge between his brothers?
6. But brother goes to the law against brother, and before unbelievers, at that.
7. Now therefore it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8. But you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and do this to your brothers.
9. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
10. nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. Such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus by the Spirit of our God.
12. “All things are lawful to me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
