1 If you have a dispute with another Christian do you dare to go to a law court before judges who are ungodly? Why not let the holy ones decide who is right?
2 Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if you will judge the world, are you unworthy to judge these small matters?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the matters that pertain to this life?
4 If you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, would you appoint as judges those who mean nothing to the congregation?
5 I speak to shame you. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? Not one who would be able to judge between his brothers?
