1 Corinthians 5:1-13
1 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
In 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, Steve Gregg addresses the issue of morality and litigation in the Corinthian church, particularly the case of a form of incest. He highlights the need for the church to purge itself of immoral behavior and maintain holiness and discipline. Gregg stresses the importance of the church's role in discipling and converting individuals, rather than attempting to directly change the world. The ultimate goal is the spiritual health and protection of its members and the removal of "leaven" from the church.
