On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The meanest of your own members are able surely to determine these disputes. Refer the matters in variance to any, rather than go to law about them before heathen judges. They are trifles not worth contending about, and may easily be decided, if you have first conquered your own spirits, and brought them into a truly Christian temper.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, It is a shame that little quarrels should grow to such a head among Christians, that they cannot be determined by arbitration of the brethren. He puts them on a method to remedy this fault. By referring it to some to make it up: " Is it so that there is no wise man among you, no one able to judge between his brethren?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

To shame you out of your present unworthy course of litigation before the heathen, I have said (1Co 6:4), "Set the least esteemed in the Church to judge." Better even this, than your present course. Is it so?--Are you in such a helpless state that, &c.? not a wise man--though ye admire "wisdom" so much on other occasions (1Co 1:5, 22).
