Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

Chapter 6Now Paul brings up another issue, and that was the taking of a brother before the pagan courts.Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if you are going to be judging the world, are you unworthy to judge in the smallest matters? ( 1 Corinthians 6:1-2 )Now, there were those within the church of Corinth that were going to the pagan courts in Corinth with judgments... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

1 Corinthians 6:1 . Dare any of you go to law before the unjust? He whose cause is just appeals to equity, but he who does his neighbour wrong is vexatious. In England, our judges, after the cause is opened, finding it of small account, refer it frequently to an arbitrator. The litigious pay dear for legal decisions, which they might have had gratis at home; and what is worse, they expose religion to great contempt. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 . The saints shall judge the world shall judge... read more

1 Corinthians 6:9-11Know ye not Shall the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Persistent self-deceptionSometimes we persistently deceive ourselves. We insist upon pursuing a policy for our benefit which all but ourselves clearly see to be absurd and useless. We cling to a pet project and nurse a worthless conceit long after the folly of both is recognised by everybody else. But we are not altogether to be blamed. For instinct itself is sometimes at fault, and its powers are... read more

1 Corinthians 6:11-12And such were some of you, but ye are washed … sanctified … Justified. The great contrastNote--I. The past state of the redeemed. “And such were some of you.”1. They were void of moral rectitude. Their conscience was burdened with guilt.2. They were subject to impure influences. Their affections were defiled. When conscience loses its authority there is nothing to prevent the soul becoming the slave of the most debasing influences.3. They were slaves of wrong habits. “Their... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

b. Sensualities and other vices exclude from the kingdom of God, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 . St. Paul has just been holding up the highest ideal of the kingdom of God the glorious judgeship [rulership] of the saints as reason why his Corinthians should not humble each other before pagan courts. Their tendency to do so directs his thoughts to that cluster of vices, especially sensuality, by which, amid the dissoluteness of Corinth, they were in imminent danger of forfeiting their title to God’s... read more
