Answered in 2 sources

Church discipline is crucial to maintain holiness and integrity within the church, according to biblical teachings.

Church discipline serves to preserve the purity and integrity of the church community, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 5. Paul stresses that allowing sin to persist unchecked not only harms the individual sinner but also corrupts the entire body of Christ. By addressing sin, the church demonstrates its commitment to truth and accountability. Moreover, discipline seeks the restoration of the sinner, as it is intended to bring about repentance and reconciliation with God, showcasing the importance of upholding biblical standards within the church body.
