1 Corinthians 5:12

For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

In Context

13while you leave to God's judgement those who are outside? Remove the wicked man from among you.
