Inner Mercy, Quiet Resolution
1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage says it is a fault to take disputes to court against fellow believers; instead, endure being wronged and avoid defrauding your brethren.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us hear this not as a legal admonition alone, but as a revelation of the inner court in which you dwell. The ‘you’ that goes to law is a mind clinging to separation, a false sense of self defending its own little kingdom. To ask another to suffer loss is to confess a belief in scarcity; to be defrauded is to live as if you lack the measure of love. Neville teaches you that God, your I AM, is the only judge and the only lawgiver; inside you is a realm where harmony can be imagined into being. When you affirm, 'I will endure being wronged' or, more truly, 'I am the mercy that no longer sees fault,' you shift the present from conflict to reconciliation. The moment you decide from the consciousness of wholeness that the other is not outside you but a projection of your own healed state, you stop defending a separate self and begin to receive your brother as your own self. In this inner act, defrauding disappears, and what remains is a quiet, radiant trust that the universe is governed by love and universal justice.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume you have already forgiven your brother, and revise the scene to harmony. Feel the relief as your consciousness rests in unity.
