1 Corinthians 4 – We are the servants of Christ and a servant is to be found trustworthy. The Lord is the only one that can judge that. Let not any man become arrogant against another. For all have received everything from God. Paul said to them “shall I come to you with a rod as to children or with love?”
1 Corinthians 5 – vs.1 “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles,” There was immorality in the Church at Corinth. A man laid with his father’s wife. The Word says don’t allow him in your presence, put him out of the church. With prayerful consideration and the leading of the Holy Spirit, turn one like that over to satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his soul (spirit) might be saved. God tells us not to eat or associate with brothers or sisters, who are immoral, covetous, idolaters, revilers, drunkards or swindlers. Immorality has been a recurring subject, even in the bible. God is very specific. He doesn’t tolerate it. It isn’t ok for couples to live together before marriage. It is sin to God and you will lose everything from God. Yet in today’s society, it is called normal. That is how far the world is from God.
