<p>6:6 <i>But as it is with you at the moment, brother goes to law with brother- and that before unbelievers</i>- In terms of 1 Cor. 1, they had turned to worldly wisdom and judgment rather than using the wisdom and judgment given by the Spirit. 'Going to law' translates <i>krino</i>; in :5 Paul lamented that they were not 'deciding' between their brothers, using <i>diakrino</i>. The same distinction is found in 1 Cor. 11:31- if we would <i>diakrino </i>&quot;judge&quot; ourselves, we will not be judged <i>krino</i> in the sense of condemned. It is the Spirit which enables us to <i>diakrino</i> (s.w. 1 Cor. 14:29). But the Corinthians refused to make use of that gift.</p>
