1 Corinthians 6

V. 7-8, The fact you fight shows you are defeated

In verses 7 and 8, Paul continues to let the church of Corinth know that he is not pleased with the way they are handling the disagreements in the church. In these two verses, Paul simply says that it would be better to allow yourself to be defrauded or for you to take the loss than for Christians to seek justice in the secular legal system. But, perhaps more importantly than avoiding the judgment of the unrighteous court is that you do whatever it takes to keep piece in the Body of Christ. Sometimes this may mean that you accept responsibility for something you may not be responsible for or you apologize to someone when you feel like you are right, and they are wrong.

I am not talking about admitting guilt when you are not guilty but there are ways of handling situations and circumstances that can defuse a situation and keep peace among the brethren. Strife and disagreements among Christians do nothing but cause problems and division in the church; it is like the right side of your body fighting against the left side of your body when the Body of Christ turn upon itself. No one wins in a battle against themselves.
