6:6a Instead, one brother goes to law against another,

But instead ⌊of appointing such a person⌋, one of you has gone to a public/government judge/court and accused another believer of doing wrong.
-or-
But as it is, ⌊when two of you argue about a matter,⌋ one of the two goes to a judge to ask him to decide who is right.

6:6b and this in front of unbelievers!

And the judges whom you ask to judge/decide your case are not believers!
-or-
Even worse, you accuse one another and argue while judges who do not believe ⌊in Jesus⌋ listen.
-or-
You go to judges who are not believers. This is very bad/improper.
