2 Don't you know that God's people will judge the world? And if you are going to judge the world, can't you settle small problems?
3 Don't you know that we will judge angels? And if that is so, we can surely judge everyday matters.
4 Why do you take everyday complaints to judges who are not respected by the church?
5 I say this to your shame. Aren't any of you wise enough to act as a judge between one follower and another?
6 Why should one of you take another to be tried by unbelievers?
7 When one of you takes another to court, all of you lose. It would be better to let yourselves be cheated and robbed.
8 But instead, you cheat and rob other followers.
