1 Korintus 6:5

6:5 I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians? ¹ 

Ibrani 5:11-12

The Need to Move on to Maturity

5:11 On this topic we have much to say ²  and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish ³  in hearing. 5:12 For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, ⁴  you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. ⁵  You have gone back to needing ⁶  milk, not ⁷  solid food.

[6:5]  ¹ tn Grk “to decide between his brother (and his opponent),” but see the note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

[5:11]  ² tn Grk “concerning which the message for us is great.”

[5:11]  ³ tn Or “dull.”

[5:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “because of the time.”

[5:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God.”

[5:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “you have come to have a need for.”

[5:12]  ⁷ tc ‡ Most texts, including some early and important ones (א² A B* D Ψ 0122 0278 1881 Ï sy Cl), have καί (kai, “and”) immediately preceding οὐ (ou, “not”), but other equally significant witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ א* B² C 33 81 1739 lat Or Did) lack the conjunction. As it was a natural tendency for scribes to add a coordinating conjunction, the καί appears to be a motivated reading. On balance, it is probably best to regard the shorter reading as authentic. NA²⁷ has καί in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
