Saints[1] in the New Testament consistently referred to the people who were called out by Christ to serve His Kingdom. They were to live in but be separate from the world.
The Levites, who were the Church in the wilderness, were also to be separated out from the people unto God to serve His kingdom by serving the tents of the congregations.
- "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?" 1 Corinthians 6:1
Who are the "Saints" and who are the "unjust"?
The Saints[1] are those disciples Jesus as the Christ called out and appointed the kingdom. They were to be "separate" from the world.
The unjust[2] were the lovers of the wages of unrighteousness who were the workers of iniquity and were the gods many spoken of by Paul. They could also be the men who called themselves benefactors or the Fathers of the earth spoken of by Jesus.
Since the ministers of the Church were to "occupy in the church the same positions as those which were occupied by Aaron, his sons, and the Levites in the temple."[3] they would not only divide the bread of .charitable welfare of the early Church instead welfare of the free bread provided by forced offerings of tribute to that world. Through that network of tens commanded by Christ they also could . provide the cities of refuge which were the voluntary appeals court system of early Israel.
The courts of the world use force to judge and compel recompense while the court of Christ sought the people's voluntary cooperation in love of truth, freedom and righteousness. The levites were similar if we are willing to understand the Altars of Clay and stone and what stoning really meant.
If you had no inheritance in the kingdom then there was no communion, nor daily ministration and you would be at the mercy of the welfare of the world which was a snare.
There is a long list starting in 1 Corinthians 6 verse 9 of people who shall "not inherit the kingdom of God".
