1 Cor. 5:6 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Cor. 5:5      1 Cor. 5:7

First letter to the Corinthians 5:6

Your boasting [about your teachers and how everything is fine in the church] is totally inappropriate.
[Paul urges the church to take responsibility. They should not wait for him to come and solve the problem for them, but he gives advice on how he would have acted if he had been there. The man who lived with his father's wife was clearly acting against both God's commandment and Roman law, and the congregation turned a blind eye to it. Paul does not say that they should stone him, which would have been the Jewish solution. Nor does he urge them to take the case to court, which would have been the Roman solution. Instead, he says that the church as a whole should distance themselves from him and hand him over to Satan, in the hope that the shock of seeing who his real master is might lead to repentance. This story has a happy ending; in 2 Cor. 2:5-8, the man has repented and is back in the community. The church must sometimes set boundaries, but the admonition must be done in love, see 2 Thess 3:14–15, and the goal is always restoration, see Gal. 6:1–3.]

Why is it important that you address this?


Don't you know that a little leaven [a picture of sin and false teachings, see Ex. 12:15; Matt. 16:11–12; Mark 8:15] leavens the whole lump?
