1 Corinthians 5:2 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Ver. 2. And ye are puffed up] And yet ye are puffed up (so Piscator reads it), viz. with your spiritual gifts, and your brave teachers; whereas you have more cause to be cast down for your other men's sins now made yours, because unlamented by you. There were great divisions among them at this time; and when this incest occured, the other faction thought they had an advantage against the whole party, and this puffed them up, -Nay, do ye not see what one of them hath done, &c.

And have not rather mourned] That any of you should incur the censure of excommunication; at which time they did anciently fast and lament.
