The Corinthian church was exhibiting a sense of pride despite the presence of sin within their community. This pride could be linked to their misunderstanding of Christian liberty or a false sense of spiritual maturity. In the broader context of 1 Corinthians, Paul frequently addresses issues of arrogance and self-sufficiency (1 Corinthians 4:18-19). Pride is often condemned in Scripture as it leads to a lack of repentance and humility before God (Proverbs 16:18). Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this? Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul the ApostleThe author of the letter, addressing the Corinthian church with authority and concern for their spiritual well-being. 2.

Church Discipline The event or action Paul is advocating for, emphasizing the need for the church to address sin within its community. Teaching Points The Danger of Pride in the ChurchPride can blind a community to its own sinfulness. The Corinthian church was proud when they should have been mourning. We must remain humble and vigilant against sin in our midst. The Necessity of Grief Over Sin Sin should grieve us deeply, especially when it affects the body of Christ. This grief should lead to action, not complacency. The Role of Church Discipline Church discipline is a biblical mandate designed to protect the purity of the church and restore the sinner. It must be exercised with love and a goal of restoration. The Importance of Community Accountability Believers are called to hold one another accountable. This accountability is crucial for spiritual growth and maintaining the integrity of the church. Balancing Justice and Mercy While addressing sin is necessary, it must be balanced with mercy and a desire for the sinner's repentance and restoration.(2) And ye are puffed up.--Better, And are ye puffed up? &c. We have instances of similar sentences beginning with "and," Luke 10:29. The Apostle cannot mean that they actually gloried in this act of sin, but that their temper of mind was of that kind which he has already described in the earlier chapters, puffing themselves up, one against another, in party rivalry, instead of being united in one common grief by this common cause, which would lead them as one man to remove from among them the person who had done this deed.Verse 2. - And ye are puffed up; perhaps rather, And have ye been puffed up? The "ye," being expressed m the Greek, is emphatic - "ye, the very persons whose horror ought to have been most intense." It might seem inconceivable that any community calling itself Christian would fall so low as to be puffed up at the existence of such an offence among them. There is, indeed, a subtle and close connection between arrogance and sensuality, and beth are sometimes fatally linked to the conceit of religious knowledge without the reality. But not even a heathen community could have been "puffed up" on such grounds. Yet the Corinthians may have been "puffed up" with the conceited reasons which induced them to leave the offence unrebuked, because they boasted the possession of some spurious "knowledge." Perhaps they bad seized some deadly notion of antinomian liberty, such as has existed at times among Gnostic sects, like the Ophites in ancient and the Anabaptists in modern days. Perhaps they sheltered themselves under the arrogant Jewish rule that all a man's conditions of life were altered by becoming a proselyte - that old relationships were for him entirely abolished; for the Jews held that a prosolyte was like "a newborn child," and had begun life a second time (Bechoroth, f. 47, 1), and might marry any of his relatives. Such miserable sophisms would acquire fresh force from the universal impurity with which Corinthian society was stained, and which rendered it necessary for St. Paul in these Epistles to utter his most solemn warnings against every kind of sensuality (1 Corinthians 5:11; 1 Corinthians 6:15-18; 1 Corinthians 10:8; 1 Corinthians 15:83, 34; 2 Corinthians 5:11, etc.). But besides all this, St. Paul's remark does not necessarily mean that their "inflation" was exclusively connected with Gnostic excesses, which bore on the case of this offender. It may mean, "Here is a gross fault in the midst of you, and yet - not propter hoc, but cum hoc - the characteristic of your religious factions is pride and conceit." This was indeed Κορινθιάζεσθαι, "to play the Corinthian," in the worst sense, of that proverbial taunt. Possibly the prominence or wealth of the offender may have led to a more easy condonation of his crime. Exculpatory sophism may have been suggested by self interest. That; i.e. in order that, as a result of your godly sorrow, the offender might be removed from your midst. He that hath done this deed. The language of St. Paul, as always, is as delicate as clearness would allow. The fact that the verb is in the past aorist may perhaps allow us to hope that the offence, at any rate in its most aggravated forms, had ceased to be committed. The manner of the crime ("in such a way") seems to have been an aggravation of the crime itself. In this indignant verse we have, as Stanley says, "the burst of the storm, the mutterings of which had been heard in the earlier chapters." So intense was the effect produced by St. Paul's stern severity, that a great part of the Second Epistle had to be devoted to allaying the agitation which these words had excited (see especially 2 Corinthians 7:8-12).
