Lawsuits among Believers
5I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren? 6But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers. 7Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?…
