And are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled from among you?

Dare any of you, having a matter of complaint against another, try it before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy of judging the smallest controversies? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? what! and not worthy of judging the affairs of this life? read more.
Therefore if ye have controversies about the things of this life, do ye set them to judge, who are despised by the church? I speak it to your shame. What! is there not one wise man among you, that is able to judge between his bretheren? But one brother goeth to law with another, and this before infidels. Now there is certainly a fault among you, that ye have law-suits with one another: why do ye not rather endure wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? But ye do wrong and defraud, and that even your brethren.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement. For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you.
