1 Corinthians 6:4
1 Corinthians 6:4 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:1-4 The Message (MSG)
And how dare you take each other to court! When you think you have been wronged, does it make any sense to go before a court that knows nothing of God’s ways instead of a family of Christians? The day is coming when the world is going to stand before a jury made up of followers of Jesus. If someday you are going to rule on the world’s fate, wouldn’t it be a good idea to practice on some of these smaller cases? Why, we’re even going to judge angels! So why not these everyday affairs? As these disagreements and wrongs surface, why would you ever entrust them to the judgment of people you don’t trust in any other way?
1 Corinthians 6:4 King James Version (KJV)
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1 Corinthians 6:4 New Century Version (NCV)
If you have ordinary cases that must be judged, are you going to appoint people as judges who mean nothing to the church?
1 Corinthians 6:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:4 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?
1 Corinthians 6:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
So if you have lawsuits dealing with matters of this life, are you appointing those as judges [to hear disputes] who are of no account in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?
