1 Corinthians 5 — Context

10

I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

11

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

12

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

13

But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
