Paul, as he ends this chapter, says something that many struggle with. Paul says not to associate or even eat (probably the love feast) with someone who is immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a swindler. The caveat is that these are people who are in the church. This is doing the opposite of what Paul said they were doing earlier, and that was having pride in the sin. Those who aren't Christians we aren't in judgment over, but if they want to claim Christianity and live in sin, according to Paul, we are to say No, thank you to any action which may give that person the feeling that they are okay living that way. In the West, at least, we would like to focus on the sexual sins, but that is one of six; if we are going to hold to the one, we have to keep to them all.
The one that really stands out now is avoiding those who are slanderers (loídoros – reproach (reviling); used of injuring another's reputation by denigrating, abusive insults*). We live in the West with a culture that is filled with people who insult each other and celebrate them. We speak the truth, but as Christians, we should not attack reputations or be demeaning. This means that name-calling is not right. We shouldn't be calling people bigots, ___pobias, extremists, etc. I understand that Paul does speak of groups as being like dogs, but I don't see Paul using slander to attack a specific person. We need to guard our tongues, which is very scriptural.
