Why Not Rather be Wronged?

The church at Corinth faced a litany of problems and with systematic precision, Paul deals with them one by one as we go through his first letter. Bad attitudes toward one another reigned. Often filled with envy and criticism toward their brothers and sisters, the members of the church at Corinth took advantage of one another. When disputes rose to a serious level, matters were taken into the local secular court system where these matters were adjudicated before pagan judges. Can you imagine the impression this would have made on those in the world who observed the church carrying on this way in these matters?
