1 Corinthians 6:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 I say this to your shame. So is there not among you anyone wise who will be able to discern[a] between his brother and this brother?— 6 but brother is going-to-court against brother, and this before unbelievers?
Better To Be Wronged Than To Wrong Your Brother With a Lawsuit
7 So indeed, it is already actually a defeat[b] for you that you have lawsuits with each other. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded[c]?

1 Corinthians 6:5-7
New International Version
5 I say this to shame you.(A) Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?(B) 6 But instead, one brother(C) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!(D)
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?(E)
