[要]把这样的人交给撒但, 消灭顺应肉体的事, 免得属灵情况……无可挽救。——林前5:5

会众把保罗所指的罪人开除, 这样做等于把他交给撒但。 换句话说, 他再度属于魔鬼所操控的世界。(约一5:19) 他被开除后, 会众当中的邪恶影响和顺应肉体的事就被清除了, 会众的敬虔精神也得以保全。(提后4:22; 林前5:1,11-13) 过没多久, 使徒保罗就劝哥林多的基督徒重新接纳那个犯了淫乱罪的人。 那个犯过者显然已经改过自新。(林后2:8-11) 如果哥林多的基督徒不肯重新接纳这个已悔改的人, 撒但就会胜过他们, 也就是说, 如果他们不肯宽恕犯过者, 对他冷酷无情, 就正合撒但的心意。(林后2:5-7) 会众把不肯悔改的犯过者逐出去, 表明他们谨守上帝的标准, 使会众在灵性上保持洁净。 开除也可能令不肯悔改的人醒悟过来。 《守》06/11/15刊2篇4-6段

Hand such a man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that the spirit may be saved.—1 Cor. 5:5.

When disfellowshipped and thus handed over to Satan, the sinner whom Paul spoke of was again part of the Devil’s world. (1 John 5:19) His expulsion removed an evil fleshly element from the congregation and preserved its godly “spirit,” or dominant attitude. (2 Tim. 4:22; 1 Cor. 5:1, 11-13) Before a very long time had passed, Paul urged the Christians in Corinth to reinstate the wrongdoer. The sinner had evidently repented and cleaned up his life. (2 Cor. 2:8-11) If the Corinthians refused to reinstate the repentant man, Satan would overreach them in that they would be as hard and unforgiving as the Devil wanted them to be. (2 Cor. 2:5-7) Removing an unrepentant wrongdoer from the congregation upholds God’s standards and preserves the congregation’s spiritual cleanness. It may also bring the unrepentant one to his senses. w06 11/15 2:4-6
