 Okay, let's pray and then we'll start. Yeah, let's pray. Father, we thank You for this morning, Lord. We thank You for this day. Lord, we thank You for bringing us to the end of this week and thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You for Your goodness. We thank You, Lord, for Your grace and Your mercy, Lord. That has been so true. And Lord, so unwavering of Father God, we just want to thank You and bless Your name. And even at this time, Lord, we just want to, Lord, give You praise for all that You are, Lord, in the way You've been leading us, Father God. And Master, we thank You that You're our teacher, that You're the one who guides us into all truth. And so this morning, we just yield ourselves, Lord, to Your teaching, to Your guidance. And Lord, we ask that You would speak to us as only You can through Your scriptures, Lord, through Your word, Father God. And Spirit of God, we ask that You would quicken Your word to our hearts today. We thank You. We give You all the praise and all the glory at this time. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Okay. Okay, just a minute. Okay. So we've been studying Corinthians. We looked at chapter five, right? I think we finished with chapter five last in last class. So chapter five, Paul addressing a very, very serious issue, right? One that is of he talking about the seriousness of sin in a person's life. And he, the several things come through in that chapter, the seriousness of sin in a believer's life, continued sin in a believer's life and the response to that by church or the body of believers. Then we also see the kind of authority that God had given Paul and that we have as believers, you know, as leaders and the authority is for edification to build up people not to destroy people's lives, right? And also the, we see, we saw that the kind of, with the kind of authority that Paul hands, or that's what, you know, that is how it's recorded, right? This handing over that person who was continuing in the rebellious sin to Satan, right? That's what he says, handing over to Satan so that his flesh may be destroyed, but his spirit is that he, his spirit might be saved. So that is what we see and he, it's, it's quite a serious thing and we see, we see references to that. And one other place also, he does the same thing, right? With the Hymenias and Alexander, two other people with whom, you know, he does the same thing. So then we studied in order to understand what is it, what does it mean to, you know, to do that, right? What does it mean to hand over, deliver such a one that isn't verse five is what we saw, right? One God thinks five verse five, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of, day of the Lord Jesus. And he goes on to actually explain what, what was it? What was it? In, in what way did he carry it out? Said in the, in the person being put out of fellowship of that local body of believers that is put out of fellowship from the, from the church, right? So, so that was a serious thing. So we, we also consider the fact that, you know, he is continuing to live in sin, unrepentant, right? Not taking any course of action, not correcting oneself, despite repeated pointing out, okay? Despite repeated requests to change one's life, right? So the person continuing. So only in that case, it's an extreme case, right? Where, but this has to be done because Paul says that it just takes a little East, a little Levin to, in order to, you know, in order to influence the entire lump, okay? So this is what he says, right? A little Levin, Levin's the whole lump verse six, meaning that it just takes a little bit of East to influence the rest of the dough. So he says, you know, purge out the old liver and the reference that he makes, he makes is the feast of the past, feast of the unleavened bread. And when the Israelites would actually clean out the entire house of anything to do with Levin, anything to do with East, right? That thing would actually make the dough rise. They would clean out the entire household and that represented the Levin represented Egypt and whatever things that they were held by and whatever things that they were, you know, they were actually delivered from, right? So Paul mentions that also in chapter five, okay? So now the, we also saw that the reason for him to do that is that the person will repent, okay? The person would understand the seriousness of the kind of life that person was living and would hopefully repent and not also influence the believers to do the wrong thing, okay? So several things because of which this particular action, this particular decision had to be taken, okay? So let's look at chapter six. Chapter six is talking about a few other things, okay? And laying down certain instructions for the believers, okay? So let's look at chapter six. I'll just read a few verses and then we'll explain this, right? There are any of you having a matter against another go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world and if the world will be judged by you, are you not unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you, not even one who will be able to judge between us, brethren? But brother goes to law against brother and that before unbelievers. Now, therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? Okay, so that's that's how those are the first eight verses. Okay, so what, what is the addressing here? Okay, what, what is he talking about? What is the addressing? Okay, the issue here is that the believers were actually going to court that is the civil court of those days and they were having issues with each other or different or problems with each other and they were actually filing court cases against each other. Okay, now, now this was in those days, we need to understand that, you know, in Corinth, typically, there was a race platform called Bema, Bema seat, the Bema, the seat of judgment, it was called Bema and it was which meant judgment seat and in that race platform, the judge would sit and on other two platforms, the one who's bringing the, you know, the one who's bringing the complaint, the one who's accusing and the one who is being accused, right, the accused and the accuser both will sit on other, you know, other places. So this race platform called the judgment seat or the Bema, the judge would sit and issue judgment. Okay, he would hear, okay, what was being said, all the arguments and then issue a judgment. Now, to watch this, people would gather. Okay, so the others, you know, it'll be made up of people who are from all walks of life, so they would come, they would watch and so Paul is saying, you know, what kind of testimony are you leaving? Are you leaving behind? What kind of testimony are you giving to the world when a brother is filing a court case against another brother? Okay, and the whole world is watching. You know, you're calling yourself a believer, you're calling yourself a Christian follower of Christ and you are filing these court cases against each other and the whole world is watching. So he's saying, you know, don't you, is there not any one who can actually, you know, settle this matter, you can settle this matter peacefully among yourselves, is there not even one, you know, and then he talks about how, you know, as believers, we are called to judge angels, you know, we will be actually ruling over cities, you know, this is the position of the believer, you know, we are co-heirs, joint heirs with Christ, we are, we are, you know, God has set us to as examples to angels, you know, angels desire to look into and learn the things that, that has been revealed to us and so God's plan is also that we, in his rule, millennial rule that we will actually be ruling over cities and bringing judgment and so on, but, you know, but are you not able to solve this? Are you not able to settle this between yourselves? Okay, so, so this is what he says. So the problem was that in the Corinthian church that people were filing court cases against one another, right? They, they were unnecessarily doing that and not really talking, sitting down, talking, settling the matter between themselves. So Paul is encouraging them, you know, you need to actually settle it between yourselves and not drag everything to civil court. Now the question is, you know, was Paul against the justice system? Was Paul against the civil court? No, right? So Paul is just referring to the fact that or, or emphasizing that you don't need to go to court. You can actually settle it between yourselves. You can actually talk and settle it between yourselves. And, you know, in the court, you have a person who's not a believer who is going to be a judge, you know, in most cases, and he is going to be, he is going to be settling the matters between you two, whereas you as believers, you have the wisdom of God. You have, you have a sense of what is right and what is wrong. So why can't you settle it between yourselves? Okay, so that is, that is the thing he's saying, you know, is there not even a wise man among you verse five, right? So, but how is it that the brother goes to court against another brother and that before unbelievers, now people are watching and people are talking and then they're saying, you know, all these believers, these Christians, you know, they are, yes, this is the thing. This person is, you know, putting a court case against this person and they're doing, so they are actually talking ill about the church, about believers themselves. So he's saying, you know, verse seven, he's saying it's an utter failure that, that you do, you're doing this, it is an utter failure for you that you go to, go to law against one another. You see the second part of that verse, okay? Second part of the verse he's saying, you know, why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? Okay. So it's a, it's a very challenging thing. He's telling the believers, you know, okay, this brother has wronged you. Why don't you rather accept that? Okay. And why don't you let yourself be cheated rather than do this? Look at verse eight. No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat and you do these things to your brother. So which means that see this, so this was a problem. It was not a question of, you know, getting justice, but they were actually cheating one another, right? They were doing wrong to one another. They were cheating one another. Maybe it was something to do with land, maybe it was something to do with business. We don't know. We don't know the details of it, but the fact is that they were cheating one another. Here are these group of believers who are born again, who are gathering together in church and they are, you know, filing court cases in order to cheat one another, in order to do wrong to one another. And Paul is coming against that. He's saying he's not, you know, talking ill about the justice system. You know, Paul himself actually appealed, you know, twice. I think once when, you know, when he was arrested and put in prison in Philippi and he appealed to the Roman court, he said, you know, I'm a Roman citizen. How can you, you know, how can you put me in prison? So he appealed, if you remember, he appealed, you know, that time. So he is not against the justice system of the land. He's not against the courts and and so on, but he is against this that the believer would do something wrong to another believer, that the believer would cheat another believer and go to court in order to do that. Right? Okay. Verse 9. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. So he's saying, no, do you not know that the unrighteous will not, you know, if you're continuing in an unrighteous lifestyle or continuing consistently doing unrighteous things. And so he's saying they don't know that such a person or such people will not inherit the kingdom of God. So he's saying, you know, and he's listing down a few people. He's listing down, you know, thieves and adulterers and idolaters and sodomites and homosexuals and so on. And he's saying, you know, those who are continuing like this, you know, having this as a lifestyle, continuing to do these things, they will not inherit the kingdom of God. So don't you know that? And then in verse 11, you know, he's saying, and such were some of you, such were some of you, you were like this, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. So he's saying, you know, he's giving this big list and he's saying, you know, such were some of you. So he's looking at the church and saying, you know, this list that I've read out about thieves and adulterers and idolaters, some of you were like this, some of you were having this kind of a lifestyle. This kind of a life is what you led, but you were washed. You were cleansed, but you were sanctified. What a sanctified mean to be set apart, right? You were set apart from the world and set apart for holy use by God, set apart from that all unrighteousness, but you were justified, made right with God, right relationship with God. You were justified. It's a one time thing. So we see that, you know, you were washed, that is cleansed, you were sanctified, set apart by God and you were justified, made right, brought into that relationship with God. Even though you were like that, you know, such was your lifestyle, that extreme kind of a lifestyle living in sin, but you were washed. Okay, so he's saying, why do you want to continue to live like that? You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. So that's the thing. The important thing is that you were sanctified, you were justified by the Lord Jesus, by the name, in the name of our Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Okay, so when we call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and the authority of the power of His name, this was, this happened to you, you know, you were set apart and you were made right and so on. So now, what is he saying, you know, as believers you are washed, as believers you are sanctified and as believers you are justified in the name of the Lord. Okay, right. So then he goes on to talk about something. And so the first part of this chapter, he's talking about court cases and, you know, against cheating and against doing people, a fellow believer wrong by dragging them to court in order to cheat them and so on. So he says, you cannot do that. You cannot do that. Rather, you sit and resolve it out of court. Right. And also, he's not against the justice system. We need to understand that. You know, sometimes we can apply this in a wrong way, saying, okay, as Christians I should not go to court, I should not go in for justice. I should not ask for justice. No, he's not against that, but he's against doing people wrong, cheating people by dragging them to court, not cheating a fellow believer by dragging that person to court. Okay. Okay. Now let's look at the second part of the chapter. The second part, verse 12 onwards, he's saying, you know, all things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any foods for the stomach and stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body and God raised God, both raised up the Lord and will also raises up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not. Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For the two he says shall become one flesh, but he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Flea, sexual immorality, every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have from God and you are not your own, but you were, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. Okay, so several important things here after finishing and after talking about the fact that you were washed, you were sanctified and you were justified. Now he goes on to say, you know, now these things are lawful. There are several things are lawful, you know, accepted, which are considered right, but they're, these are not beneficial for me. Okay, so in this context, what is he talking about? He's actually talking addressing sexual immorality, right? So he says flea sexual immorality. So, so he's saying, you know, in the culture, what is what he actually means is this, that, you know, in a culture, in a certain culture, there could be things that we do as tradition, as culture, that could be accepted by people, accepted by all. Okay, like, there's not, people might say, okay, socially, you know, it's accepted or, you know, this is how tradition, it's just a tradition. But he's saying that these things are not beneficial for me, right? For example, you know, we know this was blatant sin, because in Corinth, they were actually really loose models, people with very loose models. And culturally, it was accepted to go to that temple of, you know, Aphrodite and also make use of the services of a harlot or harlot or a prostitute, right? As an active worship even, right? So it was accepted, it was considered a religious thing. It was okay for people to do that. But now Paul is addressing that he's saying, you know, I know that it is okay culturally in your culture, but I will not be brought under the power of any food for the stomach, stomach for the food, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body. So he's saying very clear, the body is not for sexual immorality. You know, you might think that, okay, it's acceptable. You might think that, you know, this is the culture. This is what is being followed here. But he's saying the body is not very clearly. It is, you know, body is not for sexual immorality, because God will it and them. Okay. And also it answers another issue, like, you know, maybe there are certain things to have, you know, this is not in context, but I'm just saying, you know, maybe there are certain things that are accepted by culture, accepted by tradition. But the fact is when you look at it that, you know, you think about it, you know, even food, even good food and all that, do you want to be controlled by it? Right? Do you want to be controlled by it? Because he's saying, you know, I will not be brought under the power of any even things that are lawful, even things that are, you know, lawful, they are, I will not be brought under the power of that. Even things that are lawful, they are not helpful. Okay. Now, people might say, okay, this is okay, it's permissible, you know, in a culture, they might say, okay, drinking is okay, drinking is fine. But is it helpful? It could be lawful. We're not going against the law of the land. They might say, you know, the law might be very, very different. Their law might be saying, it is okay to do this. It is okay to do that. It's, you're not going against the law, you're not breaking a law. But is it helpful? There's a higher law, which Paul is referring to. You know, he's appealing to law that is above the law of the land. Even he's saying, you know, but all things are not helpful. All things, I will not be brought under the power of any, you know, and especially when it comes to food, food for the stomach and appetites of the body, I will not be brought under the power. Even things that are permissible, even things that are considered not lawful, I will not be brought under the power of any. Okay. Verse 14, and God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power is, is referring to the, you know, the resurrection power of the Lord is referring to that. And he's saying, you know, this is what I was raised up by. I was resurrection of Christ actually raised me up. And is that work in my body? Okay. So verse, yeah, verse 14. After he says, after saying that the body is not for sexual immorality, you know, it's not for sexual immorality. It's not for anything like that. But God raised me up. Okay. He raised me up and the resurrection power of the Lord is at work in my body. So therefore, um, you know, I, my body is consecrated. Okay. He is the head. He is the healer. He is my strengthener. Right. So my body, my physical body is not for any kind of immoral activity or it's not for sexual sin. Okay. Then he goes on to talk about something, you know, something that is of significance. Verse 15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? You know, he's saying so, you know, see in culture, in Corinthian culture, it's all permissible people are living like this. And you're saying, you know, why, why should I not, why should I also not live like this? You know, why should I be any different? Right? It is, it is okay for this culture to live like that. It is okay to maybe, you know, live together before marriage. It is okay to have multiple partners and it's not considered a taboo. It's not considered same fool in society. You know, this is how it is. But he's saying, do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Now consider this that your body, you know, the parts of your body, they are members of the spiritual body of Christ. They are members of the body of Christ, members of Christ. Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Okay, so, you know, just think about it as holy as Christ is as sinless as Christ is and I have become a member of Christ. My body has become a member of Christ. Shall I then take the member of Christ and make it part of the body of a prostitute or, you know, the old English word is harlot. Shall I do that? Saying, certainly not. I cannot do that. You know, it is, it is not, it is not right. I cannot do that. And verse 16, do you not know that he who's joined to, or he who has a sexual relationship with another person, you know, is one flesh with that person, right? That is what, you know, we see in Genesis where the Lord says, you know, for this reason, the man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. You know, he's talking about the sexual relationship and he's saying, so, you know, they will become one flesh. So, don't you know the reality of that. So, how can you have a sexual relationship with a prostitute knowing fully well that this is the reality, right? It's going to affect you. Verse 18, flee sexual immorality. I'm sorry. Verse 17, he says, he who's joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Now, what has happened is when you came to the Lord, you know, even you came to be in Christ, you are one spirit with him, right? You are, your spirit is one with his spirit. Apart from the fact that Christ indwells you, apart from the fact that Holy Spirit indwells you, you are actually one spirit with him, okay? So, you have this higher reality. You're living in a higher reality. You're living in a, you know, you have a law that is above these laws. You have a standard that is above these laws. Sorry, right? You have values that are above the natural law of the land. So, you are part of Christ's body and you are one spirit with, with him, with the Lord. So, you have all these things which are yours. Therefore, flee sexual immorality. You know, run away. Flee sexual immorality, right? So, verse 18, right? Every sin that a man does, every sin that a person, a man does is outside his body in the sense, you know, any other kind of sin is outside his body. But the, this sin of sexual nature is, is actually against his own body, right? Is against his own body. So, he's saying, you know, flee run away from sexual immorality. Just run away from this, you know, treat it as something serious enough to run away from, you know. So, the thing is a seriousness of it. He's presenting them with the seriousness of this kind of sin. He's saying, flee sexual immorality. Run away from it. Just it, as if you're running away to seek safety, right? Let's say you're running away from danger, you know, that kind of attitude you have towards sexual sin. Okay. So, you're saying, that's how serious it is. Therefore, you run away from, you know, if there is a temptation, you know, don't even, you know, think about it. Don't, don't argue. Don't discuss. Just run away. Remove away from it, right? So, so that's, that's an important lesson for us, all of us, right? So, for us not to put ourselves in a place of, such a place of temptation, you know, and, and yes, today, you know, when, when we consider media, you know, internet and how things are easily available on the phone, on the laptop, you know. So, for us, again, the seriousness of this message, where he's saying, flee sexual immorality. Okay. Don't even consider it. Don't think about it. Don't argue with it, saying that you are stronger. You'll be able to overcome temptation. No, you know, you said, don't, don't fool yourself like that. Okay. The best thing is to have this mindset that I'm going to, I'm going to run away from this. Okay. So, don't get caught in this kind of a sin, run away from it. Okay. Then verse 19, do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? Okay. So, so here specifically, he's saying, you know, your body is the temple, you know, he says your members of Christ. Okay. Then he goes on to say that, how can you make a member of Christ a member of a harlot? You are one spirit with the Lord. That's the second thing he says. And then the third one, you know, in the, in the, in the same chapter, he's reiterating our position, reiterating the level of holiness that we can actually live with, saying, you know, don't you know that the, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, meaning that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Okay. He, your body is the, is a dwelling place, the temple of the Holy Spirit. So, you know, we, he uses this, this phrase temple earlier also, right? We saw in chapter three. Okay. That don't you know that you are the temple of God. So, there he's referring to them collectively as a church, collectively as a group. You are the temple of God. So, whoever defiles this temple, God will destroy it. Now, if you remember chapter three and which verse was it, verse 16, right? Do you not know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you? So, he's talking to them collectively as a people. Here, he's saying individually. Okay. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Okay. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which means that you, you are a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. And so, therefore, so, yeah, verse 19, whom you have from God and you are not your own. Okay. So, that's the conclusion. The fact is that you have been, you and I, we have been bought with a price. Okay, verse 20, you were bought at a price. The great price was paid in order to buy us out of slavery, in order to buy us in order to redeem us. Christ redeemed us, right? And with his own precious blood, he redeemed us. You were bought at a price. Therefore, glorify God. You were bought at a price, therefore glorify God. Not just with your words, not just with your songs, but he's saying, you know, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which actually belong to him. Right? So, you've been bought, meaning your, you have been purchased. Okay. So, you just think about it when, when somebody, suppose you go and buy something, that article, maybe, maybe you bought a phone from a shop or maybe you bought, you know, you, some clothes, some shirt for yourself or some trouser, that belongs to you. Okay. That belongs to you. It belongs to you all the time completely. Okay. So, suppose you bought a shirt, that shirt, everything, buttons, pocket, collar, right? Everything belongs to you, 100% all the time because you paid the price and bought. So, Paul is referring to that. He's saying, you know, you were bought at a price. So, which means that all of you, you know, your entire being, you actually belong to Jesus. You belong to Jesus. You belong to him. You were bought at a price. So, you belong to him. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit. You are a purchased possession. The spirit of God dwells in you. So, glorify God. Okay. Flee sexual immorality. Don't dabble in sexual sin. And he also says verse 18, you know, he who commits sexual immorality, sins against his own body, right? Against his own body. He's committing damage to his own body and so on. So, the word sexual immorality, you know, refers to everything that God had not ordained. It could be sex outside of marriage, sex before marriage, you know, adultery and any kind of sexual perversion that is not designed by God saying, you know, don't indulge in it. Flee from it. Okay. So, in chapter six, he's addressing two main things. Okay, two main topics. One is about court cases and the other one is about fleeing sexual immorality. Okay. So, let's start with chapter seven before we take a break. Okay. Any questions here? Maybe about court cases, maybe about, you know, anything else that we read. So, for any questions, anything that you want to add, you can do that. Yeah. So, Erin is asking, what about court marriage? Okay. So, is it okay for people to get married in court? Okay. And now, yeah. So, the court marriage, what happens is in the court, you register the marriage, right? See, now, even in our, like, for a person who gets married in church, right? Then the registration happens. Every person, every couple which gets married in church needs to get their marriage registered in the court. That's the rule. That's the law of the land. You have to have your marriage registered. So, for that, you have to either go to the office of the marriage registrar or the marriage registrar himself will come for, you know, come to the wedding ceremony and get that done. Okay. So, that's the, that's, that's how it's done. So, it's the process of registration. So, you know, in some cases, what happens is the marriage registrar is there for the wedding ceremony and then, you know, it's all done in one, one shot. The other thing is that the marriage, you know, ceremony is over and then you go and get it registered because that's mandatory. So, that's how it's done. But I think what your question is, you know, let's say church is not involved at all. Okay. And can we get the marriage registered in the, in the, you know, office, registered office. The question is again, you know, why and now why, why is somebody considering that? Okay. So, there could be many reasons. One could be that, you know, the, maybe one person is a believer, a believer, family and so on. The other person, maybe only the, that person, maybe let's say the girl or the guy is a believer, but the family is not. Okay. The family is coming from maybe a different background altogether, the religious background. So, they are opposed to the whole wedding happening in a church. They're saying, you know, we don't want anything to do with church. We don't want, we are okay to both of you getting married, but we don't want, you know, the people are there, our relatives are there at the same and they will not like it if you do it in a church. So, you know, so we will go in for a registered thing. Well, it's fine. You know, it is okay. And maybe the couple can have a time of prayer in front of the church, maybe later, you know, on a Sunday service or a separate service after that or a time of, you know, exchanging vows even after that. That is fine. That is okay. So, these are the reasons for which, you know, the court marriage happens and which is okay. You know, no, considering the fact that you need to actually get it, it's a mandatory thing to get it registered in court. So, it's fine. You can, you know, do it. Does it answer Aaron or do you have any other question? Yeah, okay. So, yeah, I just want to repeat that, you know, Paul is not against using the justice system, you know, the justice system is the system of the land. Yes, we see that it's corrupt and so on. But, you know, that is not the original intent. You know, the original intent is to dispense justice, right? So that people are not wronged and, you know, justice is served. That is the reason you have courts and so on. So, Paul is not against that. Paul is really his emphasis and his thing is why are believers going and why are believers cheating one another and trying to, you know, do wrong to one another and doing this by filing court cases, one with another and you're doing this in a court of law, right? The whole world is watching. The name of the Lord is being, is not really honored and you yourselves are, you know, bringing dishonor, you know, to the church and to yourselves. And don't you know, this is your position in Christ, that you want, you will actually one day rule over cities, rule over angels and so on, judge between angels and so on. So, so why are you doing this? Right? Okay. Any other questions? Any other? Okay, fine. And then what we'll do is we'll, yeah, we'll, we'll take a break. Now it's almost time. So we'll take a break and then we'll, we'll come back to chapter 7.
