1. Should any of you, holding a matter against another, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the set-apart ones?
2. Do you not know that the set-apart ones shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3. Do you not know that we shall judge messengers? How much more, matters of this life?
4. If then you truly have judgments of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are least esteemed by the assembly?
