But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person. For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within? But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”
Paul reminds the church that holiness matters within the community of believers. Loving correction and clear boundaries protect the body and honor God. Discipline is not about judgment, but restoration and witness. When the church refuses to tolerate unrepentant sin, it preserves integrity and reflects God’s transforming grace to a watching world.
