Bible verse
So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 6.
1 If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!
2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
4 So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?
5 I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?
6 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 that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!
