1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, be judged by the unrighteous, and not by the saints?2 Do you not know that the saints are to judge with world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide your petty causes?3 Do you not know that we are to judge messengers? Why not, then, things pertaining to this life?4 If, then, you have the cognizance of such matters, why do you set those to judge who are of no account in the congregation?5 For shame to you I say it! So, then, there is not among you a wise man; not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!
