Verse 13 "Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person." The purpose of discipline “is to maintain standards to a watching world Mathew 5:13-16”. Keep sin from spreading throughout the church 1 Corinthians 5:6-7 Help the person find his way back to God 2 Corinthians 2:6-8. It is to escape God’s two fold judgment upon habitually sinning saints. 1 Corinthians 11:30 deals with Sickness; and 1 Corinthians 11:30 deals with Physical death. We are to view the individual as an erring brother and not a bitter enemy. 2 Thessalonians 3:15 “Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.” We are to approach him with sorrow and not sarcasm, 1 Corinthians 5:2. We are to be ready to forgive him when repentance occurs, 2 Corinthians 2:7.
