{Dare any of you?} (	olm(8369) tis hum(936e);). Does any one of you
dare? Rhetorical question with present indicative of 	olma(935c),
old verb from 	olma, daring. Bengel: _grandi verbo notatur
laesa majestas Christianorum_.  "The word is an argument in
itself" (Robertson and Plummer). Apparently Paul has an actual
case in mind as in chapter  1Co 5  though no name is called.
{Having a matter against his neighbour} (pragma ech(936e) pros ton
heteron). Forensic sense of pragma (from prass(935c), to do, to
exact, to extort as in  Lu 3:13 ), a case, a suit (Demosthenes
1020, 26), with the other or the neighbour as in  10:24  14:17  Ga 6:4  Ro 2:1 . {Go to law} (krinesthai). Present middle or
passive (ch.  Ro 3:4 ) in the same forensic sense as krith(886e)ai
in  Mt 5:40 . Krit(8873), judge, is from this verb. {Before the
unrighteous} (epi t(936e) adik(936e)). This use of epi with the
genitive for "in the presence of" is idiomatic as in  2Co 7:14 ,
epi Titou, in the case of Titus. The Jews held that to bring a
lawsuit before a court of idolaters was blasphemy against the
law. But the Greeks were fond of disputatious lawsuits with each
other. Probably the Greek Christians brought cases before pagan
judges.
