［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
