1 Corinthians 6:4-8

English Standard Version

⁴ So if you have such cases, ^(A)why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? ^5 (B)I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, ⁶ but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? ⁷ To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. ^(C)Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even ^(D)your own brothers!^[a]
