King James Bible - Lawsuits

What the Bible says about: Lawsuits

Matthew 5:19	Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:38-45	Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
	But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
	And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
	And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
	Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
	Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
	But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
	That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 18:32-33	Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
	Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Luke 6:31	And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luke 10:16	He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Luke 12:57-59	Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
	When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
	I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Romans 12:17-21	Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
	If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
	Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
	Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
	Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Corinthians 6:1-12	Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
	Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
	Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
	If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
	I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
	But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
	Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
	Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
	Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
	Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
	And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
	All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Ephesians 4:26	Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Philippians 2:15	That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9	Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
	And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
	In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
	Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
James 1:19-20	Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
	For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
