Notes

1 Corinthians 6:8

Some of the Corinthian believers were not following Christ's example of sacrificial love. They were cheating even their fellow believers. Their actions and attitudes were wrong.

1 Corinthians 6:1–11

When serious disagreements occur between two Christians, they should resolve them with the help of other believers, not in a secular court.
