1 Cor. 5:12 – 6:3 Judgment in the World April 14, 2013 1 Corinthians 5:12 – 6:3 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you." (6:1) When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
