“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”
Do you not know that we will judge angels? — The escalation reaches cosmic scope. Not only will believers judge the world but even angelic beings—a stunning assertion of the Christian's heavenly status. The use of nous (common sense, reason) rebukes the Corinthians for intellectual blindness to their own dignity. If such authority awaits, internal disputes should be settled by the spiritually mature within the community itself.
