Church discipline is never easy. It's never fun. But it's often necessary. Whenever sin is found in the camp of God--among God's people--the Lord expects that it be dealt with it, either severely by way of divine judgment (on His part) or summarily by way of church discipline (on ours). As it relates to the Corinthians, the same was true for them. They had sin in their camp, and it was God's expectation—through the writings of the apostle Paul—that they do something about it.
