1 Corinthians 5:2

1 Corinthians 5:2

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

a. Amplified Bible: “And you are proud and arrogant!

And you ought rather to mourn, bow in sorrow and in shame until the person who has done this shameful thing is removed from your fellowship and your midst!

b. NIV: “And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?”

c. There is no mention of putting to death, the only things Paul mentions that should be present in these circumstances is that of grief on the part of the congregation and for them to put this person out of their fellowship.
