¹¹ And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:

⁵ Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

¹⁴ But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

³ For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

⁵ to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹ Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

² Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

⁴ If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?

⁵ I say `this' to move you to shame. What, cannot there be `found' among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,

¹² that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.

⁷ Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
