Paul teaches that church discipline is essential for purity and restoration, not punitive exclusion. The body must correct and restore in truth and love.
Church Discipline and Accountability Within the Body – 1 Corinthians 5:4–5; Galatians 6:1–2
The Church as a Body: Unity Without Uniformityg – 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Romans 12:4–5
Paul presents the church as a body—diverse in function, unified in purpose—where every member is essential, interdependent, and equally under Christ's headship.
