Deserving Of Special Note:
Matthew 5:30 (NLT)
30 And if your hand—even your stronger hand—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
1 Corinthians 4:21-5:2 (NLT)
21 Which do you choose? Should I come with a rod to punish you, or should I come with love and a gentle spirit?
1 I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. 2 You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.
