He had already seen this matter so clearly, that he had determined on that sort of punishment which should be inflicted for this crime. Paul refers to the gift of the discernment of spirits, which it is very likely the apostles in general possessed on extraordinary occasions. "Absent in body, but present in spirit" - Perhaps St. Probably no more is meant than a simple disowning of the person, accompanied with the refusal to admit him to the sacred ordinances, or to have any intercourse or connection with him. The Christian Church was at this time too young to have those forms of excommunication which were practised in succeeding centuries. This is supposed by some to refer to the punishment of death, by others to excommunication. "Taken away from among you." - Æina exarqh ek mesou umwn. Had you considered the greatness of this crime, ye would have rather mourned, and have put away this flagrant transgressor from among you.

"Ye are puffed up" - Ye are full of strife and contention relative to your parties and favourite teachers, and neglect the discipline of the Church. Some think that this woman might have been a proselyte to the Jewish religion from heathenism and the rabbins taught that proselytism annulled all former relationship, and that a woman was at liberty in such a case to depart from an unbelieving husband, and to marry even with a believing son, i.e., of her husband by some former wife. The words should be read, and such fornication as is not amongst the Gentiles, i.e., not allowed. and version of importance, and certainly makes no part of the text. The word onomazetai, named, is wanting in almost every MS. Cicero styles it, scelus incredibile et inauditum, an incredible and unheard of wickedness but it was heard of and practised and there are several stories of this kind in heathen authors, but they reprobate not commend it. This was a crime which the text says was not so much as named among the Gentiles the apostle must only mean that it was not accredited by them, for it certainly did often occur: but by their best writers who notice it, it was branded as superlatively infamous.

After all that has been said on this subject, I think it most natural to conclude that the person in question had married the wife of his deceased father, not his own mother, but stepmother, then a widow. 12, where, speaking of the person who did the wrong, he introduces also him who had suffered the wrong which must mean the father and the father then alive. One part of the case is sufficiently clear, that a man who professed Christianity had illegal connections with his father's wife but the principal question is, was his father alive or dead? Most think that the father was alive, and imagine that to this the apostle refers, 2 Corinthians vii. "That one should have his father's wife." - Commentators and critics have found great difficulties in this statement. "There is fornication among you" - The word porneia, which we translate fornication in this place, must be understood in its utmost latitude of meaning, as implying all kinds of impurity for, that the Corinthians were notoriously guilty of every species of irregularity and debauch, we have already seen and it is not likely that in speaking on this subject, in reference to a people so very notorious, he would refer to only one species of impurity, and that not the most flagitious. They must not associate with any who, professing the Christian religion, were guilty of any scandalous vice, and must put away from them every evil person, 10-13. They must purge out the old leaven, that they may properly celebrate the Christian passover, 7-9. They are reprehended for their glorying, while such scandals were among them, 6. The apostle reproves the Corinthians for their carelessness in this matter, and orders them to excommunicate the transgressor, 2-5.
