這樣的人不可與他交往 — 哥林多前書讀經隨筆 第5章

哥林多前書第五章，保羅聽說哥林多教會裏有人與繼母淫亂。保羅說這樣的淫亂就是在不認識耶穌的外邦人中也聞所未聞，把這樣的人可以從教會裏趕出去。我們逾越節的羔羊基督，已經被殺獻祭了，基督十字架上的愛是何等的長闊高深，並把永生賜給了弟兄們。主如此地愛弟兄們，弟兄們不應該再作惡，而是應該活在真誠與真理裏麵，用義和平安喜樂事奉主，彼此相愛，榮耀神。保羅說若有稱為弟兄的行淫亂，或貪婪，或拜偶像，或誹謗他人，或醉酒，或勒索，這樣的人不可與他交往，就是與他一起吃飯都不可。這樣作希望他能意識到在耶穌基督裏繼續犯這樣的罪是何等的對不起主在十字架上的受難；如果此人是假弟兄或是稗子或是糠，他應自知無趣離開主的教會，別再損害主的名，否則應被趕出去。

林前5:1 風聞在你們中間有淫亂的事．這樣的淫亂、連外邦人中也沒有、就是有人收了他的繼母。
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father's wife.
林前5:2 你們還是自高自大、並不哀痛、把行這事的人從你們中間趕出去。
You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
林前5:5 要把這樣的人交給撒但、敗壞他的肉體、使他的靈魂在主耶穌的日子可以得救。
are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
林前5:6 你們這自誇是不好的．豈不知一點麵酵能使全團發起來麽。
Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
林前5:7 你們既是無酵的麵、應當把舊酵除淨、好使你們成為新團．因為我們逾越節的羔羊基督、已經被殺獻祭了。
Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
林前5:8 所以我們守這節不可用舊酵、也不可用惡毒〔或作陰毒〕邪惡的酵、隻用誠實真正的無酵餅。
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
林前5:11 但如今我寫信給你們說、若有稱為弟兄、是行淫亂的、或貪婪的、或拜偶像的、或辱罵的、或醉酒的、或勒索的．這樣的人不可與他相交．就是與他吃飯都不可。
But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.
林前5:12 因為審判教外的人與我何幹．教內的人豈不是你們審判的麽．
For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within?
林前5:13 至於外人有 神審判他們．你們應當把那惡人從你們中間趕出去。
But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."
