A Correct Approach to Biblical Discipline (1 Cor 5:1-13)

👋 Welcome

In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we continue our series through 1 Corinthians by exploring one of the great dangers that threatens every Christian community: division caused by pride.

Paul speaks as a spiritual father to the Corinthian church, urging them to move away from arrogance and rivalry and return to the humble way of Christ. He exposes the absurdity of boasting in spiritual gifts and leaders—and calls believers to imitate his example of faithful, self-sacrificing service.

🔍 Episode Highlights

• The deeper cause of division in the church: spiritual pride
• Paul’s sharp but loving rebuke: “You are already rich... without us!”
• The apostolic example of suffering and humility
• A heartfelt appeal to be imitators of Paul, as he imitates Christ
• A challenge to reflect on whether we are living in grace or self-promotion

🛠️ Key Takeaway

True Christian unity can never be built on personalities or pride—it must be grounded in humility, grace, and the example of Christ.
