1 Corinthians 5:13

God. App-98.

Therefore. The texts omit. The injunction is more forcible without it.

put away. Greek. exairo, as in 1 Corinthians 5:2.

from among. App-104.

that, &c. = the wicked (one). App-128. With this chapter should be compared the Lord's words in Matthew 18:15, and Paul's injunctions in 2 Thessalonians 3:6. The aim in every case was to bring the offender to repentance. Note also that this was. moral offence, and no sanction is given by these injunctions to the separation so common now on the ground of differing interpretations of Scripture statements.
