13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."
13 God judges
13 God decides on the outsiders, but we need to decide when our brothers and sisters are out of line and, if necessary, clean house.
13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 5:13
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 5:9-13
(Read 1 Corinthians 5:9-13)
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!
