Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And because I am with you in spirit, I have already judged the man doing this. I have judged him in the name of our Lord Jesus.So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.When you come together like this, hand this man over to Satan. Then the power of sin in his life will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.Your bragging is not good. It is like yeast. Don’t you know that just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise?Get rid of the old yeast. Then you can be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are. That’s because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been offered up for us.

Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to warn certain people. These people don’t want to work. Instead, they make trouble. We are also asking you to encourage those who have lost hope. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

“ Master,” said John,“ we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”“ Do not stop him,” Jesus said.“ Anyone who is not against you is for you.”The time grew near for Jesus to be taken up to heaven. So he made up his mind to go to Jerusalem.He sent messengers on ahead. They went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.But the people there did not welcome Jesus. That was because he was heading for Jerusalem.The disciples James and John saw this. They asked,“ Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to destroy them?”

He has been punished because most of you decided he should be. This punishment is enough.Now you should forgive him and comfort him. Then he won’t be sad more than he can stand.So I’m asking you to tell him again that you still love him.I wrote to you for another special reason. I wanted to see if you could stand the test. I wanted to see if you could obey everything asked of you.Anyone you forgive I also forgive. Was there anything to forgive? If so, I have forgiven it for your benefit, knowing that Christ is watching.We don’t want Satan to outsmart us. We know how he does his evil work.

Show mercy to those who doubt.Save others by pulling them out of the fire. To others, show mercy mixed with fear of sin. Hate even the clothes that are stained by the sins of those who wear them.
