People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 5:12


1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? It was not Paul's business, nor ours, to judge those without; hence the rule just given is not one to regulate our intercourse with them. Do not ye judge them that are within? The authority of the church is over those who have been united with it. It can judge them.
