I notice in v9 apostle Paul said in my letter I wrote you to quit mixing with fornicators and then v10 he says not meaning entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy person and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, you would actually have to get out of the world. v11 says. But now I am writing you to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolator or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man v12 For what do I have to do with judging those on the outside? Do you not judge those on the inside v13 while God judges those outside? "Remove the wicked man from among yourselves" After reading these verses it is clear what Paul was saying. Keeping the congragation clean removing those who call themselves our spiritual brothers or sisters, and sad to say it also means those who are related to us in the flesh. But Gods word gives us hope John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. The Bible sets before us the prospect of eternal life in perfection if we put faith in Yehovah's provisions for life and walk in his ways.
