1 Morality in Legal Matters

When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take it before the unrighteous and not before the saints? 2 You know that the saints will rule the world, don't you? And if the world is going to be ruled by you, can't you handle insignificant cases?Ps 49:14; Dan 7:22; Matt 19:28; Luke 22:30; Rev 2:26; 3:21; 20:4 3 You know that we will rule angels, not to mention things in this life, don't you?2Pet 2:4; Jude 1:6 4 So if you have cases dealing with this life, why do you appoint as judges people who have no standing in the church?1Cor 5:12
