6:2 saints shall judge. The resurrected saints will apparently “judge the world” during the coming millennium, when Christ reigns and His people reign with Him (Revelation 2:26; 3:21; 20:4).

6:3 we shall judge angels. The fallen angels are being “reserved unto judgment” (II Peter 2:4; Jude 6), but it is doubtful that the saints will participate in that judgment, for all such are already destined for “everlasting fire” (Matthew 25:41). More likely, we shall have authority over the holy angels, for they were created for this very purpose, being “sent forth to minister for [that is, ‘serve’] them who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:14).

6:5 your shame. The Greek word translated “shame” is entrope, which means “turning inward” or “inversion.” See also I Corinthians 15:34, where Paul uses the same rebuke. The modern scientific word “entropy” is essentially the same word. In science, entropy is a measure of disorder or confusion.

6:7 rather take wrong. This principle is as relevant today as in Paul’s days. Christians ought to love one another, not sue one another! Christians, like unbelievers, do unfortunately get into mundane arguments and disagreements with each other. They should be able to settle such arguments amicably, however, as Christian brothers. If not, they should be willing to accept Christian mediation from disinterested fellow-Christians. Failing this, the more mature Christian should be willing simply to yield to the other, even if he is legally in the right. Above all, they should not take the matter to court, as this damages the testimony of the whole church.
