In the context of <a href="/1_corinthians/5.htm">1 Corinthians 5</a>, Paul addresses the issue of immorality within the church at Corinth. The church is responsible for maintaining purity within its own community, while God is the ultimate judge of those outside the church. This reflects the biblical principle found in <a href="/romans/12-19.htm">Romans 12:19</a>, where believers are reminded that vengeance belongs to God. The phrase also underscores the idea that the church should focus on internal discipline rather than judging the world, aligning with Jesus' teaching in <a href="/matthew/7.htm">Matthew 7:1-5</a> about not judging hypocritically.<p><b>“Expel the wicked man from among you.”</b><br>This directive is a call for church discipline, specifically the removal of a member engaged in unrepentant sin. The phrase echoes Old Testament instructions found in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/17-7.htm">Deuteronomy 17:7</a>, where the community is instructed to purge evil from among them. The purpose of such discipline is twofold: to protect the purity of the church and to encourage the sinner to repent and be restored, as seen in <a href="/2_corinthians/2-5.htm">2 Corinthians 2:5-11</a>, where Paul discusses the restoration of a previously disciplined individual. This action serves as a type of Christ's ultimate judgment and purification of His church, as described in <a href="/ephesians/5-25.htm">Ephesians 5:25-27</a>, where Christ presents the church as holy and blameless. The cultural context of Corinth, known for its moral laxity, highlights the necessity of such measures to maintain the church's distinctiveness and witness in a pagan society.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/apostle_paul.htm">Apostle Paul</a></b><br>The author of the letter to the Corinthians, addressing issues within the Corinthian church.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/corinthian_church.htm">Corinthian Church</a></b><br>The recipients of the letter, a Christian community in Corinth struggling with moral and ethical issues.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked_man.htm">The Wicked Man</a></b><br>An individual within the Corinthian church engaged in egregious sin, specifically sexual immorality.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The ultimate judge of all, both inside and outside the church.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/corinth.htm">Corinth</a></b><br>A major city in ancient Greece known for its diverse culture and moral challenges.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_church_discipline.htm">The Role of Church Discipline</a></b><br>Church discipline is a necessary practice to maintain the purity and integrity of the Christian community.
