1 Corinthians 5 - Look inward, not outward
Manage episode 420735415 series 3311882
Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. 1 Corinthians 5:6-7
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 1 Corinthians 5:11
The chapter is focused on sexual sin and one that is especially bad. With that said, Paul directs the focus of the church inward, not outward. He tells the Corinthian church to look at the actions of each other and not those outside because what do you expect of those that don't know Jesus? No, we need to look at those that do know Jesus and protect ourselves from their actions, if they're unrepentant.
