Question 173

1 Corinthians 11:27–34

^11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ^11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. ^11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. ^11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. ^11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. ^11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. ^11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. ^11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

^11:27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. ^11:28 Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. ^11:29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. ^11:30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. ^11:31 Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment. ^11:32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. ^11:33 So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ^11:34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

Matthew 7:6

^7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

^7:6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

1 Corinthians 5

^5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. ^5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. ^5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, ^5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ^5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? ^5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: ^5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ^5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: ^5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. ^5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. ^5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? ^5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

^5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. ^5:2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this? ^5:3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. ^5:4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus, ^5:5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. ^5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough? ^5:7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. ^5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth. ^5:9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. ^5:10 I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. ^5:11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. ^5:12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? ^5:13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

Jude 1:23

^1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

^1:23 save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

1 Timothy 5:22

^5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

^5:22 Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

2 Corinthians 2:7

^2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

^2:7 So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
