1 Does anyone among you, if he has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the most insignificant courts?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention ordinary matters?
4 Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat these despised people in the church?
5 I say this to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers?
6 But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!
7 Therefore it is already completely a loss for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
