What does the Bible say about settling disputes among Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers should resolve disputes among themselves rather than taking them to secular courts.

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul expresses concern over believers taking their disputes to secular courts instead of settling them within the church. He emphasizes that the church should function as a community of love and grace, capable of resolving conflicts without seeking judgement from the world. Paul argues that if believers are destined to judge the world and even angels, they should certainly be able to handle minor disputes among themselves. Settling issues internally demonstrates the body's unity and reflects the gospel's transformative power, rather than exposing it to contempt in front of unbelievers.
