————————————————-

Those who continue to live doing sin—-end up with the sin punishing them.

A few seem to get away with sinning and are not punished in this life.

But many more their sin causes all kinds of trouble for them.

As their troubles get bigger—those who were once Christians—usually begin to see what sin is doing to them—and they come back to God/Jesus.

Paul is telling the group—do not allow a person—who is doing sins that people know about—do not allow them to be a member of your group of believers.

Sinners who come to learn about Jesus are welcome.

But people who want to say they are followers of Christ –and belong to the group—-and are doing sins that people see and know—they are giving a bad name to Jesus. They are not following Christ. They should not be claiming that they are. They need to stop sinning and repent.

If they do not want to do that—-they should not be a member and say they belong to the group.
