1 Corinthians 6:4-5, One Able to Judge Between His Brethren
The Apostle Paul seeks to impress upon the hearts of the Corinthian Christians that it is foolish for them to seek settlement for their disputes outside of the church in the civil courts. He acknowledges that there is indeed a need for settlement. But he is seeking restrain from them so that these disputes may be amicably resolved among peacefully in church amongst the brethren.
