1 Corinthians 6:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]If then ye have [b]judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them up which are [c]least esteemed in the Church.

6 But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that under the infidels.

- 1 Corinthians 6:4 The conclusion, wherein he prescribeth a remedy for this mischief: to wit, if they end their private affairs betwixt themselves by chosen arbiters out of the Church: for which matter and purpose, the least of you, saith he, is sufficient. Therefore he condemneth not judgment seats, but showeth what is expedient for the circumstance of the time, and that without any diminishing of the right of the magistrate: for he speaketh not of judgments which are practiced between the faithful and the infidels, neither of public judgments, but of controversies which may be ended by private arbiters.
- 1 Corinthians 6:4 Courts and places of judgments.
- 1 Corinthians 6:4 Even the most abject among you.
