Lesson 3769

 (Lesson 3769)(05-14-22) 2nd Corinthians 6:1-8

    “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.”

    In today’s quote, Paul further scolded the Corinthians because they wouldn’t settle their differences within the church instead of taking matters to the law.

    We know that, we, as children of God, are NOT to judge our neigbors UNLESS they are our brothers and sisters in the church. Within the church, it is incumbent that we judge each other in the church so as not to allow our ministry to be contaminated by evildoers.~
