The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
In this passage, the Corinthian church had been having disagreements to the point of lawsuits amongst believers. Paul tells them to have their arguments settled within the church. But even better would be to not have the disagreements. It is better to live in harmony and simply not cheat or do wrong. And on the occasions when we are wronged or cheated, it is better to be "unoffendable" and not demand our rights.
Lord, thank you for this gift of wisdom from your word. Please help us to live "unoffendable," peaceful lives. Amen.
