Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

More than this, it is not to your credit to have causes at law with one another at all. Why not put up with wrong? why not undergo loss?

Τωρα λοιπον ειναι διολου ελαττωμα εις εσας οτι εχετε κρισεις μεταξυ σας. Δια τι μαλλον δεν αδικεισθε; δια τι μαλλον δεν αποστερεισθε;

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
