If any of you has a legal dispute against another, do you dare go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest cases?Don’t you know that we will judge angels— not to mention ordinary matters?So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?I say this to your shame!

He is such a worthless fool nobody can talk to him!”

Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you?You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

These are the family records of Jacob. At 17 years of age, Joseph tended sheep with his brothers. The young man was working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives, and he brought a bad report about them to their father.
