1 Corinthians 5:13 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

Here the apostle advises them to shun the company and converse of scandalous professors. Consider, I. The advice itself: I wrote to you in a letter not to company with fornicators, 1 Cor. 5:9. Some think this was an epistle written to them before, which is lost. Yet we have lost nothing by it, the Christian revelation being entire in those books of scripture which have come down to us, which are all that were intended by God for the general use of Christians, or he could and would in his... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

5:9-13 In my letter I wrote to you not to associate with fornicators. You cannot altogether avoid associating with the fornicators of this world, or with those who are greedy and grasping for this world's goods, or with idolaters, for, in that case, you would have to withdraw entirely from the world. But, as things now are, I write to you not to associate or to eat with anyone who bears the name of brother, if he is a fornicator, or a greedy person, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:13

But them that are without God judgeth ,.... Or "will judge", in the great day of judgment; wherefore though such persons did not fall under the censures and punishment of the apostle, nor of a church of Christ, yet they shall not go unpunished; God will call them to an account for their fornication, covetousness, idolatry, extortion, &c.; and will judge, condemn, and punish them, according to their works; and therefore since they do not fall under the cognizance of the churches of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:13

Verse 13 13.Put away that wicked person. This is commonly explained as referring to the person who was guilty of an illicit connection with his mother-in-law. For as to those who understand the expression to mean — “Put away evil or wickedness, ” they are refuted by the Greek words made use of by Paul, the article ( τὸν) being in the masculine gender, But what if you should view it as referring to the devil, who, undoubtedly in the person of a wicked and unprincipled man, (309) is encouraged to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:6-13

The true Church a feast. "Your glorying is not good," etc. There are numerous Churches, but only one true Church, viz. that community of men who possess the Spirit and exemplify the character of Jesus Christ. These verses lead us to look upon the true Church— I. In its INTERNAL ENJOYMENTS . It is called here a "feast." Truly the association of such Christly spirited men is a "feast" of the sublimest kind, a feast to each and all. A "feast:" 1. Because it contains the choicest... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:6-13

Supplementary views and explanations. Was nothing necessary except to get rid of the offender? That was to be done, but something else was quite as much of an exigency. Here, then, we see the extent to which the enormous evil had spread, for the whole Church had been infected. If the vice had assumed in one man the completest form of social iniquity, what was the state of the atmosphere in which this was possible? Such corruption was not sporadic: the whole air was poisoned; and in this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

Converse with the ungodly. I. IN OUR ORDINARY LIFE WE MUST ASSOCIATE MORE OR LESS WITH THE IMPURE AND GODLESS . Our legitimate business leads us among such, our duties as citizens and subjects as well. If we kept ourselves entirely apart, we should have "to go out of the world." 1. Christianity is not designed to drive us "out of the world." We are to live among men righteously. Here we have an argument against monasticism, which is "going out of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:9-13

The intercourse of Christians with the world. In a former letter, now lost, Paul had given the Corinthians instructions not to mix themselves up with persons of evil character. These instructions had been misunderstood, and the apostle now explains what his meaning was. I. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO AVOID NECESSARY INTERCOURSE WITH THE WORLD , Society at Corinth was corrupt. Every law in both tables was habitually transgressed, and to avoid meeting such transgressors was... read more

The Christian law of association with evil. Two points require to be illustrated and enforced. I. COMMON , EVERY DAY LIFE ASSOCIATIONS WITH EVIL HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED , in Yet in all these the earnest Christian need never find it difficult to make a firm witness for truth, righteousness, and charity. II. SPECIAL RELATIONS OF FRIENDSHIP WITH EVIL WE MAY NOT MAKE . We may not read more
