Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your own brothers and sisters! — The indictment reverses the scenario: the Corinthians are not merely defending against litigation but are perpetrators themselves. The emphatic adikēte (you do wrong) and apostereite (you defraud) implicate the community in active injustice. The charge 'to your own brothers and sisters' heightens the violation—kinship language makes the betrayal intimate and theological, not merely interpersonal.
