1. When one of you has something against a brother in Christ, why do you go to the judges in the law courts? Those people are not right with God. So why do you let them decide who is right? You should be ashamed! Why do you not let God’s people decide who is right?
2. Surely you know that God’s people will judge the world. So if you are to judge the world, then surely you are able to judge small things as well.
3. You know that in the future we will judge angels. So surely we can judge things in this life.
4. So if you have disagreements that must be judged, why do you take them to those who are not part of the church? They mean nothing to the church.
