If then you do have such cases of everyday life to decide, why do you appoint [as judges to lay them before] those who [from the standpoint] of the ekklesia count for least and are without standing? |
Therefore, if you may be having courts [for the adjudication of your private matters], those who are least esteemed and of the most humble station in the local assembly, seat these on the judge’s bench. |
In any case, if you find you have to judge matters of this world, why choose as judges those who count for nothing in the ekklesia? |
So if you have the ordinary cases of life for settlement, do you set up as judges the very men in the ekklesia who have no standing? |
If 1437 then 3767 ye 3303 have 2192 judgments 2922 of things pertaining to this life, 982 set 2523 them 5128 to judge who are least esteemed 1848 in 1722 the 3588 ekklesia. 1577 |
