'Rather' in the Bible

When any of you has a legal dispute with another, does he dare go to court before the unrighteous rather than before the saints?

The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

but in the church I want to speak five words with my mind to instruct others, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.
