1 CORINTHIANS 5:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”
God will judge those outside. 'Expel the wicked person from among you' — the quotation from Deuteronomy 17:7 commands removal of those who commit serious sin. 'Wicked person' (ponēros) does not mean anyone who sins but one who scandalously transgresses and refuses to repent. Expulsion is the church's exercise of keys: binding and loosing through discipline and restoration. The incestuous man must be removed; his spirit's salvation rests on humiliation and (potentially) repentance.
