1If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels?

What does Paul mean, that we will judge angels?:confused:
 
These angels are the bad angels, that is the demons.

Theophylact and Theodoret say…

Because the Saints were victorious over the devil in this life, they for their reward shall, before the whole world, pass judgment on his malice, pride, and foolishness, and shall exult over him as conquered, mean, and contemptible, cast away by God, and condemned to everlasting punishment.
 
From the Haydock Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. Judge angels? That is, the wicked angels, the devils. (St. Thomas Aquinas)

One common Catholic interpretation is given in the NAB: usccb.org/nab/bible/1corinthians/1corinthians6.htm#foot1

Diggerdomer,

not to be rude, but the link that you provide doesn’t really answer the question. Can you explain the notes a little in detail. Notes are horrible to understand.

I’d say that NAB note would say, in a way, yes we will be “judging angels” in the sense that the link in the note refers to Daniel 7, the Son of Man and the apocalyptic imagery there.
