1 Corinthians 6:2 establishes believers will judge the world, making 6:4's resort to worldly judges absurd — a logical escalation.

1 Corinthians 6:3 adds that believers will judge angels, an even greater responsibility that underscores the foolishness of using secular courts.

1 Corinthians 5:12 distinguishes judging insiders vs outsiders, making the use of secular judges in 6:4 a direct violation of that principle.

Acts 6:2-4 shows the apostles delegating practical matters to qualified men, contrasting with 6:4's sarcastic suggestion of using unqualified judges.
