Current coverage includes 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy.
The church protects its witness through accountability: handling accusations carefully, correcting persistent sin, and keeping the faith.
27Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord`s cup in an unworthy manner, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn`t discern the Lord`s body.
30For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn`t be judged.
32But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.
34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that your coming together may not be to judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father`s wife.
2You are puffed up, and didn`t rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
3For I most assuredly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.
4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6Your boasting is not good. Don`t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
7Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;
10yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.
11But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don`t even eat with such a person.
12For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don`t you judge those who are within?
13But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."
1Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2Don`t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3Don`t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
4If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
5I say this to move you to shame. What, can`t there be one wise man among you who will be able to decide between his brothers;
6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.
19holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
19Don`t receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men`s sins. Keep yourself pure.
