There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles-a man, I hear, is living with his father's wife! Instead of grieving over it and taking steps for the expulsion of the man who has done this thing, is it possible that you are still puffed up? For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, upon the man who has acted in this way. read more.
I have decided-having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us- To deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the Day of the Lord.
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
Can it be that, when one of you has a dispute with another, he dares to have his case tried before the heathen, instead of before Christ's People? Do not you know that Christ's People will try the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try the most trivial cases? Do not you know that we are to try angels-to say nothing of the affairs of this life? read more.
Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them men who carry no weight with the Church? To your shame I ask it. Can it be that there is not one man among you wise enough to decide between two of his Brothers? Must Brother go to law with Brother, and that, too, before unbelievers? To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated? Instead of this, you wrong and cheat others yourselves-yes, even your Brothers!
But I appeal to you, Brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united-of one mind and of one opinion. For I have been informed, my Brothers, by the members of Chloe's household, that party feeling exists among you. I mean this, that every one of you says either 'I follow Paul,' or 'I Apollos,' or 'I Kephas,' or 'I Christ.' read more.
