Chapter 30: Of Church Censures
1. The Lord Jesus, as King and Head of His Church, has appointed a government in His Church, in the hand of Church officers, distinct from the civil magistrate.
Isaiah 9:6–7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Timothy 5:17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Thessalonians 5:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 20:17, 28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 13:7, 17, 24 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 12:28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 28:18–20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. To these Church officers, the keys of the kingdom of heaven are committed. By virtue of these keys, they have power:
- To retain and remit sins[1]
- To shut that kingdom against the impenitent, both by the Word and censures
- To open it to penitent sinners by the ministry of the Gospel, and by absolution from censures, as occasion might require.
Matthew 16:19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 18:17–18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 20:21–23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Corinthians 2:6–8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. Church censures are necessary for:
· The reclaiming and gaining of offending brethren
· Deterring others from like offenses
· Purging out that leaven that might infect the whole lump[2]
· Vindicating[3] the honor of Christ and the holy profession of the Gospel
· Preventing the wrath of God, which might justly fall upon the Church if they should allow His covenant and its seals to be profaned by notorious and obstinate offenders.

Jude 23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. For the better attaining of these ends, the officers of the Church are to proceed by admonition, suspension from the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for a season, and by excommunication from the Church, according to the nature of the crime and the demerit of the person.

Ch. 30:3
1 Corinthians 5 (ESV) Back
1It is actually reported that there is
sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among
pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. 2And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather
to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. 3For
though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have
already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4When you
are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the
power of our Lord Jesus, 5you are to deliver this man to Satan for the
destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6Your
boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole
lump? 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are
unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8Let us
therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice
and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote
to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at
all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or
idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now
I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother
if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler,
drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging
outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13God
judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
1 Corinthians 5 (KJ3) Back
1¶ Everywhere it is heard
that fornication is among you, and such fornication which is not named
among the heathen, so as for someone to have his father’s wife.
2 And you are being puffed up, and
have not rather mourned, that he that did this deed might be taken from your
midst.
3 For as being absent in body, but
being present in spirit, I have already judged the one who has
perpetrated this deed, as being present:
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, you being assembled with my spirit also, with the power of our Lord
Jesus Christ,
5 to give over such a one to Satan
for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the
Lord Jesus.
6 Your boast is not good.
Do you not know that a little leaven leavens all the lump?
7¶ Therefore clean out the old
leaven so that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For also
Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.
8 So then let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and of wickedness, but with
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9¶ I wrote to you in the letter
not to associate with fornicators;
10 and not altogether with the
fornicators of this world, or with the covetous one, or with rapacious ones,
or with idolaters, since then you must go out of the world.
11 But now I wrote to you not to
associate intimately; if anyone being named a brother and is either a
fornicator, or a covetous one, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or
a rapacious one, with such a one not to eat.
12 For what is it to me also
to judge the ones outside? Do you not judge those inside?
13 But God will judge the ones
outside. “And take away from yourselves the wicked one.”
1 Corinthians 5 (NASB95) Back
1It is actually reported that there is
immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even
among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife. 2You have become arrogant and have not
mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from
your midst. 3For I, on my part, though absent in body but
present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though
I were present. 4In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are
assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5I have
decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that
his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know
that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7Clean out the old leaven so that you may
be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also
has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old
leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote you in my letter not to associate
with immoral people; 10I did not at all mean with the immoral people of
this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you
would have to go out of the world. 11But 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. 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do
you not judge those who are within the church? 13But those who are outside, God judges.
Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
1 Corinthians 5 (WEB) Back
1 It is actually reported that there is
sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named
among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.
2 You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead,
that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
3 For I most certainly, as being absent in
body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him
who has done this thing.
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you
being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
5 are to deliver such a one to Satan for the
destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord
Jesus.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you
know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a
new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been
sacrificed in our place.
8 Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old
yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter to have no
company with sexual sinners;
10 yet not at all meaning with the sexual
sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with
idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.
11 But as it is, I wrote to you not to
associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or
covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist.
Don’t even eat with such a person.
12 For what do I have to do with also judging
those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?
13 But those who are outside, God judges. “Put
away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or
drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the
body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a person examine himself, then, and so
eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without
discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many of you are weak and ill,
and some have died. 31But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be
judged. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are
disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. 33So
then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34if
anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will
not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
1 Corinthians 11:27-34 (KJ3) Back
27 So then whoever should eat this
bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, that one will be guilty
of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat from the bread, and let him drink from the cup;
29 for the one eating and
drinking unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the
body of the Lord.
30 Because of this many among you are
weak and infirm, and a considerable number sleep.
31 For if we judged ourselves, we
would not be judged.
32 But being judged, we are
chastened by the Lord, that we not be condemned with the world.
33 So that, my brothers, coming
together to eat, wait for one another.
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him
eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the remaining
things I will set in order whenever I come.
1 Corinthians 11:27–34 (NASB95) Back
27Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks
the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the
blood of the Lord. 28But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he
is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks, eats and
drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30For
this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. 31But if
we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined
by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. 33So
then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If
anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment.
The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
1 Corinthians 11:27-34 (WEB) Back
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks
the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the
blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let
him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy
way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and
sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t
be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are punished by
the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come
together to eat, wait for one another.
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at
home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order
whenever I come.
