1 Corinthians 6:1-8 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? I. IT IS TO DEMEAN CHRISTIANITY BEFORE THE WORLD, which teaches peace, forbearance, unity, love. II. IT IS TO CEDE TO WORLDLY MEN AN OPPORTUNITY OF JUDGING CHRISTIAN CHARACTER — the complainant as well as the defendant. III. IT IS TO DENY THE COMPETENCY OF THE CHURCH TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES AMONG ITS OWN MEMBERS. IV. IT IS TO PREFER LAW TO EQUITY. V. IT IS TOTALLY OPPOSED TO THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? |
