Question 1: Why does Paul stress the importance of dealing with intra-church conflict in the context of the church instead of in the courts? How do lawsuits among Christians harm our witness to the world, and how should we handle such conflicts instead?

Question 2: In vv. 9-10 Paul gives us a list of sinners that will not inherit the kingdom of God. Have you ever found yourself on that list? What good news does Paul give you in v. 11?
