Bible In A Year | Read: 1 Corinthians 5
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13
Overview of Chapter
In this chapter and the next, Paul talks about how the church should take care of itself. People are behaving in ways that are wrong even in the eyes of non-Christians. This makes the church and belief in Jesus look like a bad thing. He wants them to address the problems in the church rather than criticize those outside of it.
When we lovingly help someone who is a Christian live life in a better way, we help the person and the church. The person gets closer to God, and the church gains a reputation for helping people live better lives.
