4. So if you have such matters to be judged, why do you take them to those who are not part of the church? They mean nothing to you.
5. I say this to shame you. Surely there is someone in your group wise enough to judge a complaint between two believers.
6. But now one believer goes to court against another, and you let people who are not believers judge their case!
7. The lawsuits that you have against each other show that you are already defeated. It would be better for you to let someone wrong you. It would be better to let someone cheat you.
8. But you are the ones doing wrong and cheating. And you do this to your own brothers and sisters in Christ!
