Robertson: 1Co 5:13 - Put away the wicked man

Put away the wicked man ( exarate ton ponēron ).

By this quotation from Deu 17:7 Paul clinches the case for the expulsion of the offender (1Co 5:2). Note ex twice and effective aorist tense.

Vincent: 1Co 5:13 - Wicked

Wicked ( πονηρὸν )

Mischievous to the Church. See on Luk 3:19. The usage of the Septuagint emphasizes the idea of active harmfulness. The word has, however, in some passages, the sense of niggardly or grudging , and the Hebrew word which is usually translated by πονηρός mischievous , is sometimes rendered by βάσκανος malignant , with a distinct reference to the " evil" or " grudging eye." This sense may go to explain Mat 20:15, and possibly Mat 6:19, and Mat 7:11.

Wesley: 1Co 5:13 - Them that are without God will judge

The passing sentence on these he hath reserved to himself.

Wesley: 1Co 5:13 - And ye will take away that wicked person

Sentence of excommunication in language taken from Deu 24:7.

Calvin: 1Co 5:13 - Put away that wicked person

13.Put away that wicked person This is commonly explained as referring to the person who was guilty of an illicit connection with his mother-in-law. For as to those who understand the expression to mean — “Put away evil or wickedness, ” they are refuted by the Greek words made use of by Paul, the article (τὸν) being in the masculine gender, But what if you should view it as referring to the devil, who, undoubtedly in the person of a wicked and unprincipled man, ³⁰⁹ is encouraged to establish his throne among us? For ὁ πονηρος (the wicked one) taken simply and without any addition, denotes the prince of all crimes, ³¹⁰ rather than some wicked man. If this meaning is approved of, Paul shows how important it is ³¹¹ not to tolerate wicked persons, as by this means Satan is expelled from his kingdom which he keeps up among us, when indulgence is given to the wicked. ³¹² If any one, however, prefers to understand it as referring to a man, I do not oppose it. Chrysostom compares the rigor of the law with the mildness of the gospel, inasmuch as Paul was satisfied with excommunication in case of an offense for which the law required the punishment of death, but for this there is no just ground. For Paul is not here addressing judges that are armed with the sword, but an unarmed multitude ³¹³ that was allowed merely to make use of brotherly correction.

Defender: 1Co 5:13 - put away

In addition to the "destruction [this word could mean either death or severe physical punishment] of the flesh" (1Co 5:5) permitted Satan by Paul on this wicked church member, Paul had also advised the church to excommunicate him from fellowship. Further, Paul told the church to withdraw fellowship from any in its professing membership who were still involved in any of the gross sins listed in 1Co 5:11. The ultimate purpose of such discipline was not only to keep the reputation of the church itself wholesome, but also to prevent "a little leaven" from "[leavening] the whole lump" (1Co 5:6). Finally Paul hoped that these judgments would convict the sinning brother to repent and return to Christ, "that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus" (1Co 5:5). This actually did happen in this case (2Co 2:4-11).

Although the apostles are no longer available to guide the church today, the church now has the complete Word of God, as well as pastors and teachers, and it still has the responsibility of maintaining a faithful witness. Only God now has the authority to "deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh" (1Co 5:5), but the church does have the right and responsibility to excommunicate (that is, withdraw fellowship) from those of its number who persist in flagrant sin."

Poole: 1Co 5:13 - But them that are without God judgeth // Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person

But them that are without God judgeth for heathens that live brutish and scandalous lives, God will judge them; the church hath nothing to do with them, they never gave up themselves to them, and are only under the justice of God in the administrations of his providence.

Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person: do you, therefore, what belongs to you to do. This incestuous person, besides his subjection to God’ s judgment, who is the Judge of all, whether within or without the church, is subjected also to your judicature; therefore use that power which God hath given you, and put away from amongst you that evil person. The conclusion of this discourse helps us clearly to understand those former precepts, Purge out the old leaven, 1Co 5:7 , and: Let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, 1Co 5:8 ; that they are not so properly to be interpreted of particular Christians’ purging out their lusts and corruptions, (though that be every good Christian’ s duty), as of every Christian church’ s duty to purge themselves of flagitious and scandalous persons.

Haydock: 1Co 5:13 - Take away

Take away. This passage is differently understood by commentators. By some it is understood thus: expel the evil one from among you, that is, the incestuous man. (Estius) ---

By others, it is understood to be spoken in a general sense, meaning, take away the evil of sin from among you. (Calmet)

Gill: 1Co 5:13 - But them that are without God judgeth // Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person

But them that are without God judgeth,.... Or "will judge", in the great day of judgment; wherefore though such persons did not fall under the censures and punishment of the apostle, nor of a church of Christ, yet they shall not go unpunished; God will call them to an account for their fornication, covetousness, idolatry, extortion, &c. and will judge, condemn, and punish them, according to their works; and therefore since they do not fall under the cognizance of the churches of Christ, they are to be left to the tribunal of God; and all that the saints have to do is to watch over one another, and reprove, rebuke, and censure, as cases require, and as the case of this church did.

Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person; not that wicked thing, as some read it, but that wicked one; meaning not the devil, who is sometimes so called; a sense of the words proposed by Calvin, not asserted; but that wicked man, that, incestuous person, whom the apostle would have removed from among them, by excommunication; which was what became them as a church to do, and which lay in their power to do, and could only be done by them, and was to be their own pure act and deed: reference seems to be had to those passages in Deu 17:7 where the Septuagint render the phrase, εξαρεις τον πονερον εξ υμων αυτων, "thou shalt put away that wicked one among yourselves".
