If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?

But to me it is the smallest matter, that I may be judged by you, or by human day: but I do not judge myself.

Which one of you having a matter dares to go to law with another before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

Indeed it is already altogether a small matter to you, that you have law-suits one with another. Why do you not rather stiffer injustice? why are you not rather defrauded?

For behold, how great enthusiasm, yes, how great apology, yes, how great clearing up, yes, how great fear, yes, how great longing, yes, how great zeal, yes, how great avenging, this same godly sorrow did work in you! In everything you have established yourselves to be pure in the matter.
