1 Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases?

3 Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

4 Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

5 I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?
