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

^{2 Ref} Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

^{3 Ref} Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

^{4 Ref} If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

^{5 Ref} I say this to move you to shame. Isn't there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

^{6 Ref} But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

^{7 Ref} Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
