How much more the matters of this life! 4 So if you have cases dealing with everyday affairs, why do you appoint those who are of no account in the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is there not one wise person among you who is able to judge between fellow believers? 6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers! 7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
