1 Corinthians 6:7

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?

Ver. 7. There is utterly a fault] Gr. ηττημα, a disgrace, a loss of victory: q.d. By your litigious lawing one another, you betray a great deal of weakness and impotency of affection. These be ignoble quarrels, Ubi et vincere inglorium est, et atteri sordidum. See Trapp on " Rom 12:21 "

Because ye go to law] Lightly for every small offence (which if Mahometans do, they are publicly punished), and with spiteful vindictive spirits; whereas in going to law, men should not be transported with hate or heat, but as tilters break their spears on each other's breasts, yet without wrath or intention of hurt, so, &c. The French are said to be very litigious, and full of lawsuits.
