Does anyone among you, [if he] has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!

If any of the unbelievers invites you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, {asking no questions} for the sake of the conscience.
