OMUL ÎNTRE SCLAVIA PÃCATULUI ŞI LIBERTATEA DUHULUI. O SCURTÃ ANALIZÃ A PERICOPEI DIN 1 CORINTENI 5: 1-5
Man between slavery of sin and the freedom of Spirit. A short text analyse of 1 Corinthians 5: 1-5

Summary/Abstract: Our paper deals within sexual immorality that defiles the Church of Corinth. Saint Paul has heard not only of disunity in the Corinthian Church, but also of a bizarre case of sexual misconduct (5: 1-13), of believers taking other believers before pagan courts (6: 1-11), and of sexual immorality with prostitutes (6: 12-20). Ironically, the Corinthian Christians were more tolerant of flagrant sin than were the pagans among whom they lived (5, 1). The sentence „deliver this man to Satan” (5, 5) probably refers to removing him from the Church, since those outside the Church are in Satan’s realm. In answer to these problems, Paul instructs the Corinthians on the meaning of Christian holiness and on the significance of judgement day.
