1 Corinthians 6:7-8

1 Corinthians 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
 
Paul continues in these two verses to stress how wrong it is to to take a fellow Christian to court over something that should should be settled in a Christ like manner. Jesus told us if someone ask for your coat give them your cloak also. He also said to turn the other cheek, if someone slapped you on one cheek. Jesus taught to give to him that ask and that vengeance was His. What make us a Christian is when return good for evil and kill them with kindness. It will just store up forgiveness for you in heaven, if you forgive the wrong he has done unto you. This last verse Paul is saying it is bad to do wrong to someone of the world ,but it is terrible to wrong a brother in Christ. Those who sue their brothers are just as guilty of wrongdoing for what they are doing. Let us strive to help our brothers that may have wronged us to bring them to realization of the truth of God’s word and His forgiveness.
