1 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2 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 matters?
3 Don`t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
4 If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
5 I say this to move you to shame. What, can`t there be one wise man among you who will be able to decide between his brothers;
6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
