This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life (biōtika men oun kritēria ean echēte). Note emphatic position (proleptic) of biōtika kritēria (tribunals pertaining to this life, as above). “If ye have tribunals pertaining to this life” (condition of third class, ean echēte). If kathizete (do ye set) is indicative and interrogative, then by “who are of no account in the church” (tous exouthenēmenous en tēi ekklēsiāi) Paul means the heathen as in 1Co 6:1. If kathizete be imperative, then Paul means the least esteemed members of the church for such unwished for work. It is a harsh term for the heathen, but one of indignation toward Christians.
