2. Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unqualified for the lowest law courts?
3. Do you not know that we will judge angels? Then why not everyday matters?

5. I say this to shame you. Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to be able to settle a case between brothers?

7. Now indeed [then] it is, in any case, a failure on your part that you have lawsuits against one another. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8. Instead, you inflict injustice and cheat, and this to brothers.
