b"By Steve Myers in Ambassador Bible College, Deaf & Hard of Hearing - October 31, 2023 - In this class we will discuss 1 Corinthians 5:1-8 and examine the following: Paul addresses a case of immorality within the Corinthian church. He condemns the acceptance of a man engaged in a sexual relationship with his stepmother. Paul urges the Corinthians to remove the offender from the community, emphasizing the importance of maintaining moral purity within the church. The metaphor of leaven is used to convey the pervasive influence of sin, urging the Corinthians to cleanse their community by removing the unrepentant sinner. The passage underscores the necessity of discipline to preserve the church's integrity and promote holiness among believers."
