1 Corinthians 6:2

JudgmentWisdom

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

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?
