1 Corinthians 6:7,8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Now therefore But, indeed, there is plainly a fault in you, whoever may have the right on his side; that ye go to law with one another Or that ye quarrel with one another at all, whether ye go to law or not. Why do ye not rather take, or suffer, wrong Endure it patiently, and sit down with the loss? Why do ye not suffer yourselves to be defrauded Rather than seek a remedy in such a way as this? All men cannot, or will not, receive this saying. Many aim only at this, “I will neither do wrong nor suffer it.” These are honest heathen, but no Christians. Nay Αλλα, but, ye are so far from bearing injuries and frauds, that ye do wrong to, or injure openly, and defraud Privately, and that even your Christian brethren.

1 Corinthians 6:7-8

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.
