Proverbs 22:10

10Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;
Yes, strife and reproach will cease.
-Proverbs 22:10


There are times where removing an individual from something is the right call. We have errored too far in the name of love that we have started to do something extremely unloving. We keep the scoffer around in the hopes that they will learn a different way and thus promote contention, strife, and reproach. Scripture teaches the the one who continues in sin must be delivered over to it that they may be saved. If they are not receiving correction or instruction, it is better that they know that they are not of you. In seeing that, they may return to righteousness and repent. This is what is truly loving. It is not just accepting everyone. There is a condition and that condition is sincerity in Christ. Let us ourselves be sincere in the Lord and have the wisdom and discernment to know when to cut off and cast out.
