1Corinthians 6:1-6 KJV
I find the passage below interesting. I was focused on verse 4 in a discussion during a mixed denomination Bible study this morning. One of the men mentioned that his version of the Bible did not mention the “least esteemed” phrase. We compared our various versions of the Bible and three (including my King James Version) seemed to be in agreement as to the interpretation. One seemed to say just the opposite. I ran it through Bible hub and was surprised to discover that several seemed to conflict with the KJV as to its meaning. They typically posed a question instead of making a statement as is done in the KJV. Which in itself is a type of opposite. I have read commentary, which seems to be conflicting as well. So I thought I would throw it into the AFF thresher and see what the consensus is. Both to the fact of different versions seeming to have opposing interpretations, and the interesting literal meaning of the KJV being a practice that is not necessarily followed in our modern church models.
The KJV is my favorite version of the Bible. Having said that, I’m not really a KJV only type of person. But this has happened before where the KJV and other versions seem to conflict to the point of being pretty much opposite in meaning.
What do yall think?
1Cor.6
[1] Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
[2] Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
[3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
[4] If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
[5] I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
[6] But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
