And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
And you're out here acting all proud and superior, when you should be heartbroken about this situation and working to remove the person who did this from your community.
Pride has no place where accountability should be, sometimes love means setting boundaries.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the city of Corinth was a bustling center of trade and known for its widespread immorality, which influenced the early Christian church there. Paul wrote this letter to address specific sins, including a case of incest among church members that shocked even pagan society, urging the Corinthians to respond with grief rather than pride. He emphasized the need for church discipline to maintain spiritual health and purity within the community.
