1 If any of you has a legal dispute against another, do you dare go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2 Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest cases?
3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels — not to mention ordinary matters?
4 So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?
5 I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between his brothers?
6 Instead, believer goes to court against believer, and that before unbelievers!
