| Summary: | In Paul's letters not only extensive phenomena of quotation appear, but also the presence of OT motifs are echoed. This is the case in 1 Cor 5,13, with the explicit citation: 'Put away the wicked man from among you'. Rather than a single verse, this apodictic order is a leitmotiv of Deuteronomy (known asformula), where it recurs in nine passages. Some moral difficulties arising at Corinth \u2014 incest, appeals to pagan tribunals, and matrimonial questions \u2014 had already been dealt with in the case law of Deuteronomy. Consequently, the apostle looks at such contingent situations in the light of the OT, in a work of a good halakhic re-presentation and adaptation: in similar circumstances, the young Corinthian church has to follow the example of what had already been sanctioned within Deuteronomy, though with the due distinctions. |
