1 Corinthians 5:1-13 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles… I. IS A SERIOUS EVIL. 1. It degrades all. 2. Indicates declension of zeal, watchfulness, love, purity. II. IS COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH PRIDE. 1. The offender may be respectable; or — 2. The offence ignored. III. IS A JUST CAUSE OF SORROW. 1. For the dishonour done to Christ. 2. The injury done to souls. 3. The discredit wrought upon God's cause. (J. Lyth, DD.)
