If then you have to make judgments that pertain to daily life
"If you are called upon to make decisions about daily life" or "If you must settle matters that are important in this life"
do you lay such cases as these before those who have no standing in the church?
Possible meanings are that 1) this is a rhetorical question and Paul is rebuking the Corinthians for laying their cases before people of no standing in the church. Alternate translation: "you should not lay such cases as these before those who have no standing in the church." or 2) this is a command to lay their cases before even people of no standing in the church, rather than to people outside of the church. Alternate translation: "lay cases such as these even before people in the church who have no standing, not before people outside of the church."
