Bible verses about "dispute" | Mace

¹⁹ dear brethren, avenge not yourselves, but leave that to the resentment of another: for it is written, "vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

¹ When any controversy arises among you, will any one presume to appeal to the Gentiles, and not to Christians? ² don't you know that these are to judge the world? if the world is to be judg'd by you, are not you qualify'd to decide your petty causes? ³ don't you know that we shall be judges of angels? much more then of the affairs of life? ⁴ if then you have the cognizance of such matters, why do ye set those to judge who are despised by the church? I speak it to your shame. ⁵ what, is there not a man of experience amongst you, capable of being arbitrator between his brethren? ⁶ but when a contest arises, you must refer the decision to infidels?

¹⁵ Now in case such a brother do you an injury, go and expostulate with him in private: if he repents, thou hast saved thy brother. ¹⁶ but if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that the remonstrances of two or three persons may have its effect. ¹⁷ if he does not relent, tell it to the church: but if he is not moved by the church, show him no more regard than you would to a pagan or a publican.
