In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul confronts a community that looked the other way while a well-connected man exploited a woman who never gets a voice in the story. Then he asks a surprising question: what business do we have judging outsiders at all?</p> <p>Pastor Anthony unpacks what the word usually translated "sexual immorality" actually meant. Hint: it's about exploitation and power, not a list of rules. She also explores why Paul's first instruction was to grieve, and how he reworked an ancient punishment toward accountability and restoration rather than revenge.</p> <p>This is part one of a two-part conversation in our Hot Takes series.</p>
