1Cor 6:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4-5 : Paul asks if they must set those with no respect in the church, like unbelieving judges, to decide their little problems (1 Corinthians 6:4 ). He even suggests, perhaps with some irony, that they could let the least important person in the church judge such matters. It is better to have even the least respected brother help solve a problem than to go to people outside the church. Paul says, I speak to your shame (1 Corinthians 6:5 ). It is embarrassing for Christians to let small fights grow so big.
