And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”

And you are arrogant! Shouldn’t you be filled with grief  and remove from your congregation the one who did this?

God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you.  

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

I also received a report of scandalous sex within your church family, a kind that wouldn’t be tolerated even outside the church: One of your men is sleeping with his stepmother. And you’re so above it all that it doesn’t even faze you! Shouldn’t this break your hearts? Shouldn’t it bring you to your knees in tears? Shouldn’t this person and his conduct be confronted and dealt with?

I wrote you in my earlier letter that you shouldn’t make yourselves at home among the sexually promiscuous. I didn’t mean that you should have nothing at all to do with outsiders of that sort. Or with criminals, whether blue- or white-collar. Or with spiritual phonies, for that matter. You’d have to leave the world entirely to do that! But I am saying that you shouldn’t act as if everything is just fine when a friend who claims to be a Christian is promiscuous or crooked, is flip with God or rude to friends, gets drunk or becomes greedy and predatory. You can’t just go along with this, treating it as acceptable behavior. I’m not responsible for what the outsiders do, but don’t we have some responsibility for those within our community of believers? God decides on the outsiders, but we need to decide when our brothers and sisters are out of line and, if necessary, clean house.

You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE EVIL PERSON FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.

And you are proud and arrogant! You should have mourned in shame so that the man who has done this [disgraceful] thing would be removed from your fellowship!

God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. REMOVE THE WICKED ONE FROM AMONG YOU [expel him from your church]. [Deut 17:7]

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?

But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
