1 Corinthians 6
1.The Corinthians must take their brothers to court;
6.especially under infidels.
9.The wicked shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
15.Our bodies are the members of Christ, and temples of the Holy Spirit:
19.they must not therefore be defiled.














Instead, one brother goes to law against another
In the early church, believers were encouraged to resolve disputes within the Christian community rather than resorting to secular courts. This reflects the principle of unity and love that should characterize the body of Christ. The term "brother" emphasizes the familial relationship among Christians, highlighting the expectation of mutual respect and reconciliation. The practice of taking legal action against a fellow believer contradicts the teachings of Jesus, who advocated for forgiveness and reconciliation (Matthew 18:15-17). The early church often appointed wise and spiritually mature members to mediate disputes, as seen inActs 6:1-6, where the apostles appointed deacons to handle practical matters.

and this in front of unbelievers!
The presence of unbelievers in legal disputes between Christians was seen as damaging to the witness of the church. The early church was called to be a light to the world (Matthew 5:14-16), and public disputes could tarnish its reputation. In the Greco-Roman world, legal proceedings were often public spectacles, and Christians airing grievances in such settings could lead to ridicule and misunderstanding of the faith. This phrase underscores the importance of maintaining a testimony that reflects the transformative power of the gospel. The apostle Paul emphasizes the need for the church to demonstrate a higher standard of conduct, as seen inJohn 13:35, where Jesus states that love among believers will show the world they are His disciples.

Teaching Points
The Witness of the Church
The church's testimony is compromised when internal disputes are aired publicly. Believers are called to resolve conflicts within the community to maintain a positive witness to the world.

The Importance of Unity
Unity among believers is crucial. Disputes should be handled with love and grace, reflecting the unity that Christ prayed for inJohn 17.

The Role of the Church in Conflict Resolution
The church should be a place where conflicts are resolved through biblical principles, not through secular means. This involves seeking wise counsel and mediation within the church body.

The Call to Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Believers are called to forgive and seek reconciliation, following the example of Christ. This requires humility and a willingness to prioritize relationships over personal grievances.

The Danger of Worldly Influence
Taking disputes before unbelievers can lead to worldly influence and compromise. Believers should be cautious of allowing secular values to dictate their actions.
Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from 1 Corinthians 6

Does 'all things lawful' permit us to sin?

What evidence supports Jesus Christ's resurrection?

1 Corinthians 16:12 - Why is Apollos unwilling or delayed to visit Corinth, and does this contradiction with other New Testament accounts undermine biblical consistency?

How can Paul's prohibition of lawsuits among believers (1 Corinthians 6:1-8) align with modern justice systems that rely on secular courts?(6)But brother goeth to law with brother.--"It would almost seem as if it were not so. Your dragging these disputes before tribunals of the heathen would imply that it is not possible to find a Christian friend whom you can trust to settle these trivial disputes." Thus the Apostle answers his question of the previous verse.
