Paul wrote some harsh words to the Corinthians about how they were handling disputes. Apparently, when there was a dispute, the people were pursuing legal action outside of the church. Paul wrote that they should instead appoint judges within the church to handle disputes and lawsuits rather than settle things in front of unbelievers.
