Christians who believe honor is an outdated concept fail to understand the Ten Commandments form a strict honor code. Men who adhere to them can be respected and trusted to act with integrity. Christian men who violate them must be shunned and distrusted. Honor is obedience.

St. Paul is starkly clear on precisely how to treat Christians who violate the law without repentance.

I said adhere to them and violate them, actually. Repentance after sin means a man adheres to them. He sticks close to the law with his heart. Violation means he flaunts them openly. One can break the law and repent without violation. 1 Cor 5 illustrates this distinction.

Further, even if I’d said break and not break, it would have been correct. The wages of sin are death, and breaking the law calls for destruction. Repentance does not mean our sin simply disappears, the price is paid by our King. A disgraced man is reintroduced by that ransom.

This is why, as St Paul wrote in 1 Cor 5, we openly shun and expel Christians who violate the law, who break it and refuse to repent. Repenting washes them clean through ransom and restores their honor. It proves their honor and obedience to the Lord.

This is the basic doctrine of mortal sin and reconciliation.
