We\u2019ve been looking at why Paul takes sin so seriously in this chapter of 1 Corinthians. It can cause serious damage in the church. Paul wants sin cleaned out. This chapter rubs against everything we see as normal and right in our culture. It\u2019s not politically correct to tell someone they\u2019re sinning, let alone kick them out for doing something wrong. And, as Christians, we often look to the several Bible passages that tell us not to judge each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, which is it? Do we judge or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open up your Bible and read 1 Corinthians 5:12\u201313.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12<\/sup>It isn\u2019t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13<\/sup>God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, \u201cYou must remove the evil person from among you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Paul\u2019s words at the end of this chapter can be confusing. He tells the Corinthians to judge each other on their sin. But Paul said the Corinthians weren\u2019t supposed to judge at the beginning of chapter 4. So when is it okay to judge? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greek word for \u201cjudge,\u201d krin\u014d<\/em>, carries legal undertones, much like our word does in English. It means to determine if something is right or wrong or if a person is guilty or not guilty. One way to think about the word krin\u014d<\/em> is as arriving at a verdict. We sometimes read the word \u201cjudge\u201d and think about being critical of someone or condemning them<\/em>, whether through our thoughts or words. But Paul\u2019s simply talking about figuring out what is right or wrong by God\u2019s standards<\/em>. In this case, the church should consider if the man in question is acting in accordance with God\u2019s law or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Paul tells the Corinthians not to judge in the previous chapter of 1 Corinthians 4, he\u2019s saying they shouldn\u2019t try to determine the validity of his apostolic ministry because God\u2019s the one to do that. He\u2019s not talking about judging sin. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul\u2019s saying the church should be aware of and proactive against habitual sin in its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As members of God\u2019s family, we have to take care of each other. That means we do everything we can to make sure the whole family stays healthy. Kicking someone out of the church can seem harsh to us. But it\u2019s one of the ways the church can stay healthy. And it\u2019s often the only way someone can realize the consequence of their sin and turn back to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might recall Jesus\u2019s words about judging others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1<\/sup>\u201cDo not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2<\/sup>For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. 3<\/sup>\u201cAnd why worry about a speck in your friend\u2019s eye when you have a log in your own? 4<\/sup>How can you think of saying to your friend, \u2018Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,\u2019 when you can\u2019t see past the log in your own eye? 5<\/sup>Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend\u2019s eye. 6<\/sup>\u201cDon\u2019t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don\u2019t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.<\/p>Matthew 7:1\u20136 (NLT)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He says to make sure you deal with your own problems before pointing them out in other people. His words apply here. We shouldn\u2019t go around condemning other Christians for their sin when we have unrepentant sin in our own lives. Calling out sin should always begin in us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re the first ones to call out other people\u2019s sin. Rather, we open ourselves up to the judgment of others. We live transparently. We create so much stress for ourselves by trying to hide our sin. But if we\u2019re open about our struggles, we can live free\u2014free from the burden of hiding it and free from the guilt and shame of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine what your life could be like if you were completely transparent about your sin. Sure, it\u2019d be scary at first. But you\u2019d never have to worry about being caught. You\u2019d never be caught off guard if someone called you out on your sin. You\u2019d be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a moment to reflect on this question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s keeping you from living in transparency now?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the book of 1 Corinthians. As we study this letter, we\u2019ll step into ancient Corinth while reading the words Paul wrote to the fledgling church. We\u2019re going to see that, like all churches, the Corinthian church wasn\u2019t perfect. They had a problem. A big problem. And it grew to such an epic proportion that it poisoned the church in various ways. Paul wrote to provide the antidote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this study, we\u2019re going to explore Paul\u2019s solution to both the problems in Corinth and in us. Through his words, we\u2019ll learn more about Jesus\u2019s plan for a people who live radically different lives than the world around them. But we\u2019ll also take a hard look in the mirror and ask the Spirit to point out our own self-centered attitudes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading the Bible isn\u2019t just something we do to impress people or to check off on a to-do list. It\u2019s about getting to know God. It\u2019s about shaping every minute of our lives to reflect Jesus. It\u2019s about thinking differently in the power of the Spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So as we approach each week, we\u2019ll focus on one main idea. That main idea will point us to change how we think, feel, and act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, we\u2019ll see that resolving relational disunity begins in our hearts because division is a symptom of self-focus. From this main idea, we have three goals: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- We want to understand that selfishness has dire consequences, both in the local church and in us as individuals. <\/li>
- We want to feel motivated to reject selfishness and embrace a life that\u2019s Christ-and-others-centered. <\/li>
- We want to identify and turn away from the ways we\u2019re holding on to selfishness.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
First Corinthians will take us on a journey. We\u2019ll look at the struggles of one of the first local churches in all of history. We\u2019ll see that the Corinthians weren\u2019t much different from us. And we\u2019ll realize that Paul\u2019s words to them still ring true today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we jump into 1 Corinthians, spend a few minutes writing out a short prayer to God. Ask him to use this study to change you. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open up your Bible to 1 Corinthians. Go ahead and read the entire first chapter. As you read, ask yourself this question: What was the problem in the Corinthian church?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 1:1\u201331 (ESV): <\/p>
1\u00a0Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,
2\u00a0To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
3\u00a0Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4\u00a0I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5\u00a0that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge\u2014 6\u00a0even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you\u2014 7\u00a0so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8\u00a0who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9\u00a0God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
10\u00a0I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 11\u00a0For it has been reported to me by Chloe\u2019s people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. 12\u00a0What I mean is that each one of you says, \u201cI follow Paul,\u201d or \u201cI follow Apollos,\u201d or \u201cI follow Cephas,\u201d or \u201cI follow Christ.\u201d 13\u00a0Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14\u00a0I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15\u00a0so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16\u00a0(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17\u00a0For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18\u00a0For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19\u00a0For it is written, <\/p>\u201cI will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.\u201d<\/p>
20\u00a0Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21\u00a0For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22\u00a0For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23\u00a0but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24\u00a0but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25\u00a0For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.<\/p>
26\u00a0For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27\u00a0But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28\u00a0God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29\u00a0so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30\u00a0And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31\u00a0so that, as it is written, \u201cLet the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Corinthian church suffered from division. We\u2019ll see it all throughout the book. The struggling church fought over leadership, spiritual gifts, food, marriage, and theology. Since the theme of disunity runs throughout the letter, it\u2019s tempting to think that was the church\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it wasn\u2019t. Disunity was only a symptom of a far more insidious\u2014and common\u2014 disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you catch the real issue that was going on in Corinth? It was selfishness. They were so consumed with themselves that they tried to solve their problems their own way, held on to their culture, and, as a result, blasted chasms between them and other Christians.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one likes to admit to selfishness\u2014 especially people who claim to follow Jesus. But it often sneaks into our lives in ways we don\u2019t readily see. And then it spills over in ways we never expect. For the Corinthians, their selfishness led to severe divisions in the church. What is it for us? We\u2019ll spend the rest of the study unpacking that very question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that we know the main problem Paul\u2019s tackling in 1 Corinthians, take a moment to be honest with God. Write down any fears or concerns you have about confronting the problem of selfishness. Ask God to use this study to turn your gaze to him.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
