Paul reminds the church that love does not ignore what harms the body. Holiness is not about judgment, but about care, protecting what God is building so healing can take place. Even correction, when guided by Christ, is meant to lead back to life.

1 Corinthians 5:1–5 Easy:  I don’t want to believe what I am hearing—that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a bad kind of sexual sin that even those who have never known God don’t allow it. People say that a man there has his father’s wife. And still you are proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with sadness. And the man who committed that sin should be put out of your group. I cannot be there with you in person, but I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the man who did this. I judged him the same as I would if I were really there. Come together in the name of our Lord Jesus. I will be with you in spirit, and you will have the power of our Lord Jesus with you. Then turn this man over to Satan. His sinful selfhas to be destroyed so that his spirit will be saved on the day when the Lord comes again.

Lord Jesus, give us wisdom to walk in truth and love. Teach us to guard our hearts, to seek restoration, and to trust Your grace to do the work only You can do.” Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.
