he does call him wicked .
Did you know that man paul wrote about sorrowed to REPENTANCE . He did .
And by the second letter paul was telling them to go ahead and bring him back in .......lest over much sorrow etc .
But since we are on this topic .
HOW come when men like me warn against sin in the church and remind all that we ought not keep
company with beleivers in sin , DO I GET CALLED a hater and a judger .
WE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS for their good and THE GOOD of the church .
Dont we know a little leaven will LEAVEN the WHOLE LUMP .
NOW go to and behold these judge nots , these seeker friendly churches .
YOU SEE what this judge not DID TO THEM .
HECK I NOW SEE RAINBOWS in some , I SEE korans even being kissed in some , as if we all serve the same GOD .
THAT IS WHAT leaven does WHEN LEAVEN IS NOT PURGED OUT , IS NOT CORRECTED.
So i say for us who name the name OF JESUS , we better get real busy learning and a heeding THEIR WORDS
in said bible , that pattern . ITS THE ONLY PATTERN that WORKS . IT was INSPIRED BY THE SPIRIT to help keep
the church safe . In other words , OH YEAH ITS B IBLE TIME IN THE HOUSE .
Yes, he did repent of his wickedness and the church welcomed him back. Someday we will fully understand.
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see in a
mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your...

Be Reconciled to God
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
12 For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

A Pattern of Self-Denial - Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. My defense to those who examine me is this: Do...

15 But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it
would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. 18 What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel [
d]of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
Serving All Men
19
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those
who are under the law, as under the [
e]law, that I might win those
who are under the law; 21 to those
who are without law, as without law (not being without [
f]law toward God, but under [
g]law toward Christ), that I might win those
who are without law; 22 to the weak I became [
h]as weak, that I might win the weak.
I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23
Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
Striving for a Crown
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize?
Run in such a way that you may [i]obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes
for the prize [
j]is temperate in all things. Now they
do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we
for an imperishable
crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as
one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring
it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
