6:5 I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians? 1 6:6 Instead, does a Christian sue a Christian, 2 and do this before unbelievers?
6:7 The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

2 tnGrk “does a brother sue a brother,” but see the note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.
