You Will Judge The World And Angels
1 Cor. 6:1-6
When a person knows his worth and the high position that God has placed him, there are some things that he doesn’t struggle for or do, which are seen as belittling his status. This is Paul’s argument when he was addressing the Corinthian Christians who were taking themselves to court. He stresses that if believers are going to sit with Jesus and judge the ungodly world as well as fallen angels, why would they belittle themselves in this world by dragging themselves before an unrighteous judge whom they are going to judge at last. To Paul, doing so is as if believers do not know their worth. It is also a shameful thing, signifying lack of competence, if those who will judge the world and Angels cannot settle earthly trivial matters.
Point of Emphasis: Never take a fellow brother to a law court before unbelievers (v. 6)
Prayer Point: Lord, don’t allow things that will make me contemplate taking my brother in the Lord to court, happen to me.

TU JUGERAS LE MONDE ET LES ANGES
1 CO. 6 :1-6
Quand une personne connaît sa valeur et le haut poste où Dieu l’a placée, il y a certaines choses pour lesquelles elle ne doit pas lutter ou faire, qui sont considérées comme dignes de son statut. C’est là l’argument de Paul quand il s’adressait aux chrétiens de Corinthe qui intentaient des procès contre eux-mêmes. Il souligne que si les fidèles iront s’asseoir avec Jésus et juger le monde impie aussi bien que les anges déchus, pourquoi se rabaisseraient-ils eux-mêmes dans ce monde en se tirant devant un juge inique qu’ils jugeront enfin. Selon Paul, ce faisant est comme si les fidèles ne connaissent pas leur valeur. C’est aussi chose honteuse, voulant dire manque de compétence, si ceux qui jugeront le monde et les anges ne peuvent pas régler les affaires mondaines insignifiantes.
Point essentiel : Ne plaide pas contre un frère dans une cour de justice devant les infidèles. (v. 6).
Axe de prière : Seigneur, ne permets pas qu’il m’arrive les choses qui m’envisageraient de plaider contre mon frère dans le Seigneur en justice.
