1 Corinthians 5:11
Amplifed….
But actually, I have written you not to associate with any so-called (Christian) brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy,
Or is an idolater (devoted to anything that takes the place of God),
or a reviler (who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others), or is a drunkard or a swindler—-you must not so much as eat with such a person.
*** WHEN ANYONE CALLES THEMSELVES A CHRISTIAN OR RECOGNIZED AS BEING ONE OF CHRIST’S FOLLOWERS THEY ARE TO LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF JESUS. ***
*** IF THEY SAY THEY ARE YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST BUT LIVE A LIFE OF VERBAL ABUSE, SLANDER, REVILER OF OTHERS YOU ARE TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM. ***
*** YOU ARE TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM AT ALL. YOU CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR THEM FOR PUBLIC OFFICE OF ANY KIND ! ***
*** IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE BRINGING SHAME AND A CONFUSING EXAMPLE OF WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ABOUT THAT YOU ARE TO REJECT THEM. ***
*** FOLLOWERS OF JESUS ARE TO BE LIVING A LIFE THAT BRINGS GOD GLORY TO GOD….NOT SHAME !
