In 1 Corinthians 6:1–8, the apostle Paul teaches the believers at Corinth how they should settle disputes. Pastor Ben Bessett answers the apostle’s questions: Do you dare go before the unjust world instead of saints to settle legal matters between Christian brothers? Do you not know your high and exalted authority? Do you choose unbelievers as judges who have no standing in the church? Is there not a wise man in the church?
“So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers?”
