1 Corinthians 6:1-11 teaches that Christians shouldn’t take fellow believers to secular courts, because God has already given the church the wisdom to handle disputes. Instead, we’re called to accept wrong if needed, trusting our Father to provide as we seek His kingdom above our rights. As people now washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ, we are empowered to forgive and resolve conflicts in ways that glorify God rather than imitate the world.
