1 Corinthians 6:7

“Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, etc.] Or a “defect”: a want of brotherly love, or there would be no occasion to go to law at all; a want of wisdom and conduct, or proper persons would be pitched upon, and chosen out from among themselves to be arbitrators and judge between them; and a want of care among their leaders, who else would have pointed out to them such a method of accommodation, and not have suffered them to go the lengths they did: because ye go to law one with another; which would never be, was there not a declension among you, a decay of your first love, and of the power of religion and true godliness: why do ye not rather take wrong why do ye not rather suffer…”

“utterly a fault--literally, "a shortcoming" (not so strong as sin). Your going to law at all is a falling short of your high privileges, not to say your doing so before unbelievers, which aggravates it. rather take wrong-- (Pro 20:22; Mat 5:39-40); that is, "suffer yourselves to be wronged."”

“6:7 Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you: To sue a fellow believer reflects self-interest rather than concern for the welfare of others or the glory of God. • Why not just accept the injustice? Christians are called to follow the example of Christ’s self-sacrifice (see Matt 5:38-42).”
