Friends, welcome back. Todays passage corrects a misunderstanding so old that Paul was already correcting it in the first century — and we still get it wrong. Listen:

“In my other letter I told you not to have anything to do with immoral people. But I wasnt talking about the people of this world. You would have to leave this world to get away from everyone who is immoral or greedy or who cheats or worships idols. I was talking about your own people who are immoral or greedy or worship idols or curse others or get drunk or cheat. Dont even eat with them! Why should I judge outsiders? Arent we supposed to judge only church members? God judges everyone else. The Scriptures say, ‘Chase away any of your own people who are evil.” (1 Corinthians 5:9–13, CEV)
