1 Corinthians 5 - Expel the Wicked?

This chapter is a tough read, no question about it.  There is talk of removing people from the fellowship of believers, judging, handing someone over to Satan, and not associating with sexually immoral people.  Thankfully, Paul clarifies in verse 10, "not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral....In that case you would have to leave this world" (hard to argue with that one).  But Paul is clearly condemning the behavior of those who claim Christ and boast (v. 6) or are proud of their sin (v. 2).  There is to be great tolerance toward sinful people, but no tolerance for sin itself.  The distinction can be murky sometimes, but it doesn't appear to be very murky in this case.  Paul concludes the chapter by quoting Deuteronomy, "expel the wicked man from among you."
