Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 6 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.

Verses 1–10

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints?

2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world?

4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church.

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.

7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.

9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers:

10 Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.
