I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
Comment: I’m not telling you to live in a monastery shunning the reality of the sinfulness of mankind and separating yourselves from it. But I am telling you that we, the church. are supposed to be very different, self judging! It is not only the sexually impure that I’m speaking about. There are a lot of ways ‘in which we are supposed to be different’ Paul writes!
Prayer: I want to be righteous Father but not ‘self-righteous’!
As I read it!
