Who really profits when a divorce happens?
When divorce comes into the picture, the lawyers are the only ones who really profit. Everyone else gets hurt and comes into a place of devastation, but the lawyers can walk away smiling. That is the point made in the passage.
Les explains that when divorce enters the picture, the lawyers are the only ones who really profit, while everyone else gets hurt and comes into a place of devastation, but the lawyers can walk away smiling. In the context, this statement illustrates Paul's rebuke of the Corinthians for taking their disputes to worldly courts instead of keeping matters within the church. Paul says not to go to the world's lawyers and courts with problems, but to keep it within the confines of the believers, though there may come a point when one must go to the world's judicial system.
