>>11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you."<<

And isn’t it interesting that Paul was writing to all the believers in Corinth and not just those in leadership positions.

LOL, and another straw is grasped and waved in the air.

What's interesting is that anyone thinks Paul wanting to greet all the believers and expected what he wrote to be read to them it means there's no real shepherd ordained and appointed to lead the sheep but that a clear and direct quote of what Christ said has to be reinterpreted and twisted. If that sort of self-absorbed distortion of the Scriptures isn't enough, what's just as interesting is how there's no limit to the amount of Scripture the infalliable interpreters of Scriptures are willing to ignore and/or reinterpret to keep beating the dead horses of their heresies.

Num 16:1 And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben,
Num 16:2 Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name.
Num 16:3 Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord?

Jude 1:9 When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
Jude 1:10 But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
Jude 1:11 Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.

First Core decides he doesn't want a priesthood, and about three thousand years later Luther does exactly the same thing. It's pretty easy to see why Luther really wanted to throw out the book of Jude and relied so little on the Old Testament. He was afraid someone might stumble over the clear Scriptures that show exactly how wrong his ideas were and what God Himself did about it. God Himself punished Core and his crowd for asserting that the "priesthood of all believers" was sufficient and that there should be no priesthood.
