The sexual immorality person,6. is cause rather of shame unto them than of rejoicing. 7. The old leaven is to be purged out. 10. Heinous offenders are to be shamed and avoided. God will judge those outside. This phrase emphasizes the distinction between the responsibilities of the church and the sovereignty of God. In the context of 1 Corinthians 5, Paul addresses the issue of immorality within the church at Corinth. The church is responsible for maintaining purity within its own community, while God is the ultimate judge of those outside the church. This reflects the biblical principle found in Romans 12:19, where believers are reminded that vengeance belongs to God. The phrase also underscores the idea that the church should focus on internal discipline rather than judging the world, aligning with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:1-5 about not judging hypocritically. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” Persons / Places / Events 1. Apostle PaulThe author of the letter to the Corinthians, addressing issues within the Corinthian church. 2. Corinthian Church The recipients of the letter, a Christian community in Corinth struggling with moral and ethical issues. 3. The Wicked Man An individual within the Corinthian church engaged in egregious sin, specifically sexual immorality. 4. God The ultimate judge of all, both inside and outside the church. 5.

Teaching Points The Role of Church DisciplineChurch discipline is a necessary practice to maintain the purity and integrity of the Christian community. It serves to protect the church from moral decay and to encourage repentance and restoration. Distinction Between Inside and Outside the Church Paul makes a clear distinction between judging those inside the church and those outside. The church is responsible for maintaining its own standards, while God judges those outside. The Purpose of Expulsion The expulsion of the wicked man is not merely punitive but aims to bring about repentance and eventual restoration. It also serves as a warning to others within the church. God's Sovereign Judgment While the church is called to address sin within its community, ultimate judgment belongs to God. This perspective should instill humility and reliance on God's wisdom and justice. Community Responsibility The church community has a collective responsibility to uphold biblical standards and support one another in living out the Christian faith. This includes addressing sin in a loving and constructive manner.(13) God judgeth.--In the best MSS. the verb is in the future tense: God will judge. He is the judge of the whole earth; we are to leave the heathen world in His hands. Therefore put away . . .--Better omit "therefore." The Apostle in this passage adopts the form of pronouncing sentence on great criminals, with which especially the Jewish converts would be familiar (Deuteronomy 13:5; Deuteronomy 17:7; Deuteronomy 24:7). Verse 13. - God judgeth. To that "judgment of God" (Romans 1:29) Christians must leave them. They have no jurisdiction over them. The mention of "judging" forms a natural transition to the next chapter. Therefore. The word is omitted in the best manuscripts. The command is more abruptly forcible without it. Put away from among yourselves that wicked person. The command would come the more powerfully because it is a direct reference to the language of Deuteronomy 17:7; Deuteronomy 24:7.
