Bible verses about "dispute" | NSB

¹⁹ Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, instead leave room for divine punishment, for it is written: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says Jehovah. (Deuteronomy 32:35)

¹ If you have a dispute with another [Christian] do you dare to go to a law court before judges who are ungodly? Why not let the holy ones decide who is right? ² Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if you will judge the world, are you unworthy to judge these small matters? ³ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the matters that pertain to this life? ⁴ If you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, would you appoint as judges those who mean nothing to the congregation? ⁵ I speak to shame you. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? Not one who would be able to judge between his brothers? ⁶ But brother goes to court against brother, and this before unbelievers.

¹⁵ »If your brother does wrong to you, go to him in private. Clearly explain his error between you and him. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother back. ¹⁶ »If he does not listen to you, take one or two more people with you. Two or three witnesses may prove every case. ¹⁷ »If he will not listen to them, let it come to the attention of the congregation. If he will not listen to the congregation, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax collector.
