既是这样，你们若有今生的事当审判，是派教会所轻看的人审判吗？

既是这样，你们若有今生当审判的事，会让教会所轻看的人来审判吗？

既是这样，你们若有今生当审判的事，会让教会所轻看的人来审判吗？

如果你们有什么纠纷，你们会指派不受教会敬重的人来审理吗？

你们既然要审判今生的事，为什么让教会不重视的人来审判呢？

因此，你们如果真有今生的事要审理，难道让被教会所藐视的这些人来审吗？

既是這樣，你們若有今生的事當審判，是派教會所輕看的人審判嗎？

既是這樣，你們若有今生當審判的事，會讓教會所輕看的人來審判嗎？

既是這樣，你們若有今生當審判的事，會讓教會所輕看的人來審判嗎？

如果你們有什麼糾紛，你們會指派不受教會敬重的人來審理嗎？

你們既然要審判今生的事，為甚麼讓教會不重視的人來審判呢？

既然如此，即使你們有日常生活的事當過法庭，還要請教會中所不承認的那種人來坐堂啊？

因此，你們如果真有今生的事要審理，難道讓被教會所藐視的這些人來審嗎？

若此生之事是鞫、乃使會中之卑無足數者鞫之耶、

若世事、亦惟使會中無名者鞫之耳、

乃爾曹有世事當審、竟使彼不為教會尊重者審之、

然則爾如有世俗之事、應須解決者、即付諸會中之最低能者為爾裁判、亦應綽綽乎有餘裕也。

Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?

So suppose you disagree with one another in matters like this. Who do you ask to decide which of you is right? Do you ask people who live in a way the church disapproves of? Of course not!

So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?

If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?

So if you have such matters, do you appoint as your judges those who have no standing in the church?

So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?

So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

So if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?

If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? (niv)

So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said,“ It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to themand will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” (niv)
