1 Corinthians 6:1
1 Corinthians 6:1-4 The Message (MSG)
And how dare you take each other to court! When you think you have been wronged, does it make any sense to go before a court that knows nothing of God’s ways instead of a family of Christians? The day is coming when the world is going to stand before a jury made up of followers of Jesus. If someday you are going to rule on the world’s fate, wouldn’t it be a good idea to practice on some of these smaller cases? Why, we’re even going to judge angels! So why not these everyday affairs? As these disagreements and wrongs surface, why would you ever entrust them to the judgment of people you don’t trust in any other way?
1 Corinthians 6:1 King James Version (KJV)
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:1 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:1 New Century Version (NCV)
When you have something against another Christian, how can you bring yourself to go before judges who are not right with God? Why do you not let God’s people decide who is right?
1 Corinthians 6:1 American Standard Version (ASV)
Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:1 New International Version (NIV)
If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?
1 Corinthians 6:1 New King James Version (NKJV)
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Does any one of you, when he has a complaint (civil dispute) with another [believer], dare to go to law before unrighteous men (non-believers) instead of [placing the issue] before the saints (God’s people)?
1 Corinthians 6:1 New Living Translation (NLT)
When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers!
