The Judgment of God and the Judgment of the Church
1 Corinthians 5:12-13
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within?…


1. The one is limited, the other universal.

2. The one is partial, the other absolute.

3. The one is disciplinary, the other infallible.

4. The one is provisional, the other will be final.

5. The effects of the one are temporary, of the other eternal.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
