1 CORINTHIANS 5:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.”
Not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world — Paul clarifies: if he meant worldly sinners (hoi porni ho tou kosmou), the Corinthians would have to withdraw from society entirely (exit the world). That is not feasible or commanded. Christians live in a pagan world; contact with sinners is unavoidable and proper.
