literal interpretation

Now here's case where two orthodox brothers tried to work out their differences without going to court but were apparently forced into it. Fortunately, the judge must be a believer also and recommended they continue to try to reconcile outside of the court system.

1 Co 6.1 - When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?

Mt 5.25 - Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison.
