Supply, and this judgment we in all humility leave to God. Thus the and, that follows, more closely coheres with this clause.-καὶ, and) an Epiphonema[45] suited to both parts of this chapter.

But the phrase, as it is written, is not prefixed here, and this is the case either for the sake of severity [c. 1Co 4:21], or because ἐξαρεῖτε, Heb. ובערת, is used by Moses for taking away a wicked man from among the people by capital punishment, by the apostle for taking away a wicked man from the Church by excommunication.-ΤῸΝ ΠΟΝΗΡῸΝ, the wicked person) 1Co 5:2; 1Co 5:9.-ὑμῶν αὐτῶν, from among yourselves) So it is found in the LXX. often. The antithesis in this passage is, those that are without.
[45] An exclamation after a weighty demonstration or narration. Append.
