Then by what faculty did Paul expect the Corinthian Church to discern the sin in 1 Corinthian 5?

The Corinthian church had enough Hebrew members to apply the moral law of the Tanach as being still effective in the New Covenant. That does not take algebra or logic, just obedience.

Aside from you gratuitously giving your own inferences the weight of Holy Scripture, how does that moral calculation support "bypassed reasoning" in an "intelligent mind already ... prejudiced by sin?"
