Page "Excommunication" Paragraph 4

In, a man is excommunicated by the church at Corinth for sexual immorality ( incest ).

In, the man, having repented and suffered the punishment " inflicted of many ," is restored to the church.

Fornication is not the only ground for excommunication, according to the apostle: in, Paul says, " I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one.
