What Have I to do with Judging Outsiders

1 Corinthians 5:11-12
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so- called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler —not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

This is a huge verse in terms of how we interact with those outside the church. We are to expect the wicked to act according to their nature and love them all the same. Are they idolaters? Fornicators? Arrogant? Drunkards? Junkies? Who cares? God judges them. We are called to go to where they are and love them all the same.

We ought not associate with those who say they are Christians and live like the world. Sinners who make no claim to follow Christ? No.
