Definition of Tolerance
“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.
For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.
For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.
Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye?
Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
“If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.
But if he won’t listen, take one or two others with you, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every fact may be established.
If he doesn’t pay attention to them, tell the church. If he doesn’t pay attention even to the church, let him be like a Gentile and a tax collector to you.
I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.
But actually, I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside?
God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you.
But as for you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary in doing good.
If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don’t associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
Yet don’t consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
We reveal our love for one another by how we hold each other accountable to scripture.
We reveal our love for the world by not compromising truth, but not expecting that they will follow scripture.
