1 Corinthians 5 Fornication/Reputation

In this chapter, Paul addresses a second major problem in the Corinthian church.   The problem is fornication, but as we noted last time, sin does not take place in a vacuum.What one member does in the church has a ripple effect across the congregation.What Paul points out is that their reputation in the community is at stake.  They have someone involved in a sin that even the outside world considers reprehensible.
