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

2 Do you not 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 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

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

5 I say this to move you to shame. Is not there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
