OET interlinear 1 COR 6:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τολμᾷ τις ὑμῶν, πρᾶγμα ἔχων πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον, κρίνεσθαι ἐπὶ τῶν ἀδίκων, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἁγίων?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τολμᾷ τὶς ὑμῶν πρᾶγμα ἔχων πρός τόν ἕτερον κρίνεσθαι ἐπί τῶν ἀδικῶν καί οὐχί ἐπί τῶν ἁγίων)

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. Here, the truthful answer to the question is “they are, but they should not.” Paul asks the question to get the Corinthians to realize how bad going to court before the unrighteous is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a “should” statement or a statement of fact. Alternate translation: [Some of you actually dare, having a dispute with another, to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints.]
