Clarke's 1-corinthians 6:5 Bible Commentary
Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? - Have you none among yourselves that can be arbitrators of the differences which arise, that you go to the heathen tribunals?
Barnes's 1-corinthians 6:5 Bible Commentary
I speak to your shame - I declare that which is a reproach to you, that your matters of dispute are carried before pagan tribunals.
Is it so ... - Can it be that in the Christian church - the church collected in refined and enlightened Corinth - there is not a single member so wise, intelligent and prudent that his brethren may have confidence in him, and refer their causes to him? Can this be the case in a church that boasts so much of its wisdom, and that prides itself so much in the number and qualifications of its intelligent members?
Wesley's 1-corinthians 6:5 Bible Commentary
6:5 Is there not one among you, who are such admirers of wisdom, that is wise enough to decide such causes?
