1 Corinthians 6: 2 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? 1 Corinthians 6: 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If you have trusted in what the Lord Jesus Christ done for you on the cross the you will be in that heavenly world. Today in your earthly body you are lower than angels because you can die. But when you get your glorify body heavenly body you will be able to judge the angels and the world they live in. Philippians 3: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Ephesians 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

No. This scripture was intended to bring clarity to the word "judgment".
Many of the saints didn't know (and STILL don't know) that we HAVE to be able to judge. We need to know good from evil, The God from other gods, righteous from unrighteous. Not only do we need to KNOW, but we need to call it out for reproof (helping and encouraging each other to correct ill behavior) or removal (getting evil spirits from around you). This is discernment...not to be confused with the job of THE JUDGE, which is Christ. His judgment will be salvation or condemnation. The saints have no place here. So, if someone tells you that "you're going to hell" or even that someone who dies that they feel were 'a nice person' will "go to heaven", know that they are in a dangerous place...very dangerous because Christ is the ONLY judge for that.

It means that someone esteemed themselves to highly when amending that portion of scripture.
Only God will judge, let's get that straight.
No jury duty for saints.
Unfortunately, some Christians have interpretted that scripture to mean that they have the right, indeed the calling and responsibility, to judge other people.

Christians will assist Christ to judge the world in the millennial kingdom.

No, It is about NOT judgeing each other and NOT taking each other to court. (you need to read the whole chapter and not take a single verse out of context).

Nope. It expressly tells us that we will be Judges.
