What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And because I am with you in spirit, I have already judged the man doing this. I have judged him in the name of our Lord Jesus.So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.When you come together like this, hand this man over to Satan. Then the power of sin in his life will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

Suppose one of you wants to bring a charge against another believer. Should you take it to ungodly people to be judged? Why not take it to the Lord’s people?Or don’t you know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? Since this is true, aren’t you able to judge small cases?Don’t you know that we will judge angels? Then we should be able to judge the things of this life even more!So suppose you disagree with one another in matters like this. Who do you ask to decide which of you is right? Do you ask people who live in a way the church disapproves of? Of course not!I say this to shame you. Is it possible that no one among you is wise enough to judge matters between believers?

Jesus replied,“ Friend, who made me a judge or umpire between you?”

Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.

Jesus said,“ My kingdom is not from this world. If it were, those who serve me would fight. They would try to keep the Jewish leaders from arresting me. My kingdom is from another place.”
