Paul called them “unrighteous men,” perhaps because many judges at that time were corrupt. Christians who took a brother before such judges would, in effect, be saying that the elders in the congregation did not have the wisdom to judge “matters of this life.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">1Co 6:3-5</a>) However, spirit-anointed Christians as heavenly associate rulers of the Lord Jesus Christ would be judging not only humans but also angels. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/0/0">study note on 1Co 6:3</a>.) Paul states that it would be far better for individual Christians to let themselves “be wronged,” or to accept some personal loss, rather than to divide the congregation and bring disputes to public notice.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">1Co 6:7, 8</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/6/128" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-129"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 18:15-17</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-129" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-129" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/6/129" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-130"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Heb 13:17</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-130" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-130" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p238" data-pid="238" class="se"></p> <p id="p239" data-pid="239" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/238/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> p. 870</a></p> <div id="p240" data-pid="240"><p data-pid="240" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/239/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="240" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/239/0">5/1/1995, p. 30</a></p><p data-pid="240" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204436/240/0">11/1/1988, pp. 22-23</a></p> </div><p id="p241" data-pid="241" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p76" data-pid="76" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/74/0">it-1 870;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/74/2"> w95 5/1 30;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270046/74/4"> w88 11/1 23;</a></p> <p id="p77" data-pid="77" class="sx"></p> <p id="p96" data-pid="96" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/94/0">g79 3/8 12;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/94/2"> w73 703;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/94/5"> w63 160;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020046/94/6"> w55 126</a></p> <p id="p97" data-pid="97" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="46-6-2" data-section-citation="046006002046006002"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">1 Corinthians 6:2</span></h3><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/6/130" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-131"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 19:28;

Thus, it has been rendered <strong>men who submit to homosexual acts.</strong> The second word (Greek, <em>ar·se·no·koiʹtes</em>), with the literal meaning “men who lie with men,” also occurs at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">1Ti 1:10</a>. It apparently refers to men who assume the active role in homosexual activity. Therefore, it has been translated <strong>men who practice homosexuality</strong> or, alternatively, “men who have sex with men.” By specifically mentioning the passive and active roles, Paul made it clear that God disapproves of all homosexual acts.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group footnote"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Footnotes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item footnote" data-extract-id="verseFootnote-14"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">*</span></span><span class="scalableui"><p id="p116" data-pid="116">Or “Do not be deceived.”</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/46/6/134" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-135"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Eph 5:5;

to run away from.” Paul uses this word figuratively when urging the Corinthian Christians to run away from sexual immorality. Some suggest that Paul was alluding to the account about Joseph, who literally and resolutely fled from Potiphar’s wife. In the <em>Septuagint</em> rendering of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b">Ge 39:12-18</a>, the Greek word used for “flee” is the same as the word used here. In the original Greek, the admonition at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/26/0" data-bid="27-1" class="b">1Co 6:18</a> is in the present tense, “be you fleeing from,” denoting a continuous and habitual fleeing.—<em>Kingdom Interlinear.</em></p> <p id="p27" data-pid="27" class="s5"><strong>Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body:</strong> Paul has been emphasizing that Christians are to be united with their Lord and head, Christ Jesus. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/27/0" data-bid="28-1" class="b">1Co 6:13-15</a>) The sexually immoral person wrongly and sinfully becomes “one flesh” with another. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070739/28/0" data-bid="29-1" class="b">1Co 6:16</a>) In a sense, the Christian who commits immorality separates himself from union with Christ and makes his body “one” with another person. That is apparently why all other sins committed by a person are here viewed as “outside his body.” A Christian practicing sexual immorality sins <strong>against his own body,</strong> using his reproductive members for an immoral purpose.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span
