¹ Dare any of you, when he hath a controversy with his brother, litigate before the iniquitous, and not before the sanctified?² Or know ye not, that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are ye unfit to decide trivial causes?³ Know ye not, that we shall judge angels? How much more things that are of the world?⁴ But if ye have a controversy about a worldly matter, seat ye on the bench for you those who are contemned in the church !⁵ 5 For shame to you I say [fn] . So, there is not even one wise man among you, who is competent to do equity between a brother and his brother: ⁶ but a brother litigateth with his brother, and also before them that believe not !⁷ Now therefore ye condemn yourselves, in that ye have litigation one with another. For why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded?⁸ But ye yourselves commit wrong, and ye defraud even your brethren.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males,¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God.¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.
