Paul reprimands the Corinthian Christians for taking their disputes before non-Christian judges. (Keep in mind that the word "saints" in the following verses does not refer to someone who has achieved a high degree of holiness by his own works [the traditional, medieval meaning], but to all who have accepted the death of Jesus Christ on the cross as payment for their sins [the New Testament meaning].)

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?" (1 Corinthians 6:1-5).

As a Christian, you have eternal life given to you by the very God who created you. God's wisdom in His word (given so that you may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works, 2 Timothy 3:16-17), your personal divine teacher His Holy Spirit (without whom God's words are foolishness, 1 Corinthians 2:14), and others in His body are commanded to restore you under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and in a spirit of meekness (Galatians 6:1). Why should you even consider seeking counsel from those who are headed for eternal destruction, whose greatest wisdom cannot even reach the foolishness of God, who cannot discern spiritual matters, and who cannot display the love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance of the Holy Spirit in their own lives?

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" (Colossians 2:8).
