Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

1 Corinthians 5:6-7 The 'eternal vigilance' required to maintain not only liberty but purity, should have for its guide a principle just opposite to the principle commonly followed. Most men, alike in public affairs and private business-affairs, assume that things are going right until it is proved they are going wrong; whereas their assumption should be that things are going wrong until it is proved they are going right. Spencer, Principles of Ethics (§ 470). References. IV. 21. Expositor... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Chapter 8EXCOMMUNICATION; OR, PURGING OUT THE OLD LEAVENFROM the subject of the factions in the Corinthian Church, which has so long detained Paul, he now passes to the second division of his Epistle, in which he speaks of the relation the Christians should hold to the heathen population around them. The transition is easy and such as befits a letter. Paul had thought it advisable to send Timothy, who perfectly understood his mind, and could represent his views more fully than a letter; but it... read more

3. Corinthian Failures. Chapters 5-6. CHAPTER 5 1. The Tolerated Case of Gross Immorality. (1 Corinthians 5:1-5 ). 2. The Call to Separation. (1 Corinthians 5:6-13 ). The spiritual declension, the carnal spirit which prevailed among them, had brought forth fruit. One of their members had committed an act of the grossest immorality, which was an unspeakable outrage, such as was not even named in a licentious city like Corinth, where licentiousness of life was a broadly marked feature of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

The emphasis on human wisdom in Corinth was sadly accompanied by a case of revolting moral corruption. Philosophy is far removed from spiritual power, very commonly. Paul speaks here of a case well known, that of a man having his own stepmother. Such fornication as this was not even considered among the ungodly nations. This illustrates the fact that grace, once known, may be taken advantage of in a most unholy way, if it does not hold living power over the soul. And a believer may slip into... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

SANCTITY OF THE HUMAN BODY One of the demoralizing things reported to Paul was the incest dealt with in chapter 5, and aggravated by the fact that the church instead of excommunicating the offender had become “puffed up” over it! His was an illustration of what their worldly wisdom in the Gospel had resulted in (1 Corinthians 5:1-2 ). Paul had already “judged” this person and directed the church to come together and solemnly deliver him “to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

(9) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: (10) Yet not altogether the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. (11) But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat. (12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:13

REFLECTIONS SEE, my soul! what corruptions the human heart is exposed to, and how the peace and prosperity of Church-communion, is liable to be interrupted by the improper indulgence of fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. Oh! for grace to keep the heart with all diligence! Lord, do thou keep thy Church, thy people, with thy watchful care, for without thee we are nothing! Blessed be God the Holy Ghost for this short but sweet portion in this Chapter, which calls upon us to behold Christ,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:13

Take away. This passage is differently understood by commentators. By some it is understood thus: expel the evil one from among you, that is, the incestuous man. (Estius) --- By others, it is understood to be spoken in a general sense, meaning, take away the evil of sin from among you. (Calmet) ==================== read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

9-13 Christians are to avoid familiar converse with all who disgrace the Christian name. Such are only fit companions for their brethren in sin, and to such company they should be left, whenever it is possible to do so. Alas, that there are many called Christians, whose conversation is more dangerous than that of heathens! read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:1-99

1Co 5 AS WE READ the opening verses of chapter 5, we see that the Corinthians quite deserved the rod of which Paul spoke, as he closed chapter 4. There was a very grave case of immorality in their midst. Corinth was a licentious city, and the standard of morality amongst the Gentiles was deplorably low, yet even they avoided the particular sin which had been perpetrated by this professing Christian. The thing had not been done in secret. It was known on all hands. But though it was a matter of... read more
