NASB | 1 Corinthians 5:11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 5:11 But actually, I have written to 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 is 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. [2 Thess 3:6] |
Bible Question: My question is, it is ok to love someone and care about their well being and everything but stay away from them. This person causes alot of strife all of the time and this person is a memeber of my church. Is there anything in the Word about caring for someone without having to be close to them? |
Bible Answer: Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. You have to love and forgive. It says nowhere we have to be around someone. Unless the Spirit leads you to! If the brother is in un-confessed sin you should stay away from him. 1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. I have a sister that I do not particularly care to be around and I have to deal with this issue on a regular basis, I lean on the Spirit on what I should do from time to time. (Pray about it.) I hope this helps, Love, Tim |
