Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) But brother goeth to law with brother.--"It would almost seem as if it were not so. Your dragging these disputes before tribunals of the heathen would imply that it is not possible to find a Christian friend whom you can trust to settle these trivial disputes." Thus the Apostle answers his question of the previous verse.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekInstead,ἀλλὰ (alla)ConjunctionStrong's 235: But, except, however.
