1 Dare anyone of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the holy ones? 2 Have you not known that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smaller judgments? 3 Have you not known that we will judge messengers? Why not then the things of life? 4 Of the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the Assembly—these you cause to sit; 5 I speak to your shame: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who will be able to discern in the midst of his brothers!
