1 Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 have you not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the smaller judgments?

3 have you not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

4 of the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause you to sit;

5 unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!
