1 Corinthians 5:2
Context5:2 And you are proud! 1 Shouldn’t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this 2 from among you?
1 Corinthians 6:7
Context6:7 The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
1 Corinthians 7:18
Context7:18 Was anyone called after he had been circumcised? He should not try to undo his circumcision. 3 Was anyone called who is uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised.
1 tn Or “are puffed up/arrogant,” the same verb occurring in 4:6, 18.
2 tn Grk “sorrowful, so that the one who did this might be removed.”
3 tn Grk “Let him not pull over the foreskin,” that is, attempt to reverse the appearance of circumcision by a surgical procedure. This was sometimes done by Hellenistic Jews to hide the embarrassment of circumcision (1 Macc 1:15; Josephus, Ant. 12.5.1 [12.241]). Cf. BDAG 380 s.v. ἐπισπάω 3.
