1
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints?
2
Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3
Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world?
4
If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church.
5
I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren?
6
But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.
7
Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8
But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.
