1. Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to the law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2. Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3. Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things that pertain to this life?
4. If then you have judgments dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint as judges those who are least esteemed in the church?
5. I speak to your shame. Is it true that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to judge between his brothers?
6. But brother goes to the law against brother, and before unbelievers, at that.
7. Now therefore it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
