aDo ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest judgmentsb?

JND Translation Notes

+
a
A question, with some expression of surprise, as "is it so that you do not?" previous circumstances leading one to suppose they could not know. see Rom. 6.3; 7.1; 11.2. I have added "then" to give the force in English. In Rom. 2.4 the force as seen in "or" is more apparent.
b
"To judge the smallest matters?"
