1 Corinthians 6:2-3 ESV
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
Paul condemns the church in Corinth for taking each other to court, asking how can this be when we are to be judging angels in the new creation? Paul seems to imply here that we will have authority over angels. We are told elsewhere we will sit on thrones, a royal priesthood. It does not appear as outlandish to say we will be superior to angels in some way. Not that we seek this, but it is part of our inheritance.
