Contextual Overview
1Listen up, when you have a squabble with another of God's cowboys, why in the world would you go to an outsider to judge who is right? That's like letting a city slicker judge the rodeo.
2Don't you know God's cowboys will get to judge the world when the time comes? If God is going to let you judge the world, can't you handle a little squabble between two cowboys?
3Did you not know we will even judge angels? If you can ride that bronc, can't you handle a little crow-hop between cowboys?
4When these little squabbles come up, I don't understand why you'd trust outsiders with knowing what is right or wrong when they don't even know where right and wrong comes from.
5Y'all should be hanging your heads in shame! Isn't there one cowboy who is wise enough to decide on these issues?
6I guess not! One of God's cowboys are squabbling with another of God's cowboys right out in the open—right in front of unbelievers. That makes our outfit look good doesn't it?
7But the fact y'all are even squabblin' means you've failed. It'd be better to be wronged than to fail. Shoot, it'd be better to be cheated than fail on purpose.
8Instead, y'all are out there cheating and stealing among yourselves and others.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Nay, you do wrong and defraud,.... So far were they from taking and acting up to the advice given, that instead of taking wrong, they did wrong; and instead of suffering themselves to be defrauded, they defrauded others:
and that your brethren; that were of the same faith, of the same religion, and in the same church and family: in short, neither party, not the plaintiff, nor the defendant, sought anything more or less than to wrong, trick, and defraud each other; such a sad corruption and degeneracy prevailed among them: hence the apostle thought to deal plainly and closely with them, as in the following verses.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Nay, ye do wrong ... - Instead of enduring wrong patiently and cheerfully. they were themselves guilty oi injustice and fraud.
And that your brethren - Your fellow Christians. As if they had injured those of their own family - those to whom they ought to be attached by most tender ties. The offence in such cases is aggravated, not because it is in itself any worse to injure a Christian than another man, but because it shows a deeper depravity, when a man overcomes all the ties of kindness and love, and injures those who are near to him, than it does where no such ties exist. It is for this reason that parricide, infanticide, etc. are regarded everywhere as crimes of special atrocity, because a child or a parent must have severed all the tenderest cords of virtue before it could be done.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Corinthians 6:8. Nay, ye do wrong — Far from suffering, ye are the aggressors; and defraud your pious, long-suffering brethren, who submit to this wrong rather than take those methods of redressing their grievances which the spirit of Christianity forbids. Probably the apostle refers to him who had taken his father's wife.
