The Sufficiency of the Saints (1 Corinthians 6:1–11)
Those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God have been washed, sanctified, and justified, which means that they respond to conflict in a radically, because reverently different way. We see this in the text before us as we continue to learn about the sufficiency of the saints to govern the church through scriptural church discipline. As Prior points out, “There will always be disagreements among Christians, but the disciplined approach of Jesus to such matters needs more uninhibited obedience (cf. Matthew 18:15–17).” This was a lesson the Corinthian church needed to learn, and we do as well. We will study these verses under three broad headings: 1. A Scandalous Question (vv. 1–3) 2. A Shameful Question (vv. 4–8) 3. A Sobering Question (vv. 9–11)
