1 Corinthians 6:4

4 If you have ordinary cases, then, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?

1 Corinthians 6:4 In-Context

2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels—to say nothing of ordinary matters?
4 If you have ordinary cases, then, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?
5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to decide between one believer and another,
6 but a believer goes to court against a believer —and before unbelievers at that?
