Garland notes: Converts to Christianity already placed themselves on the fringes of society as religious misfits. Persons expelled from the Christian community might find it difficult to be integrated into society. Unlike today, when an expelled member can join another church down the street, expelled Christians in this era could find themselves in social limbo—neither fish nor fowl Craig Keener - The Old Testament often commanded God’s people to purge evildoers from among their ranks, normally by execution (Deut 13:5; 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21, 24; 24:7). Otherwise, the unrepentant offender could remove God’s blessing from the whole community and bring about the death of others (Josh 7:5, 25). Here the evildoer is purged from the community by being banished; banishment was a common punishment in the Roman period. In Judaism, exclusion from the community was a spiritual equivalent of execution, applied in the New Testament period to capital crimes of the Old Testament (see comment on 1 Cor 5:2; capital sentences of Jewish courts could not be legally carried out without Roman permission).( IVPBBCNT) Remove (1808) (exairo) means take up out of a place, lift up from, remove, exclude, expel, drive out or away. Remove someone from a group. Only here in NT (over 200x in the Lxx) Complete Biblical Library This term is a compound of the preposition ek (1523), “out, from” (ex before a vowel), and the verb airō (142), “to take.” The resulting meaning is “to take away.” The range of definition in classical Greek includes “to lift up” and “to lift off the earth” (see Liddell-Scott). It can also describe “rising,” passively “being raised” (from the ground), or “removing” something (from its place). In the middle form it depicts “carrying something away.” Septuagint Usage - Exairō is an extremely common word in the Septuagint where it replaces as many as 37 different Hebrew terms as well as several variations of these. Furthermore, the term is very versatile in definition. It is used of someone “rising” to his feet (e.g., Genesis 29:1) or of someone lifting his hands (e.g., Leviticus 9:22). It also refers to the “setting out” of the camps of the tribes of Israel (e.g., Numbers 2:9,16,24,31). On a number of occasions the word refers to the disciplinary action of “forcibly taking” someone (evil) from one place to another (e.g., Deuteronomy 17:5), in other words “driving them out” (cf. verses 7,12; 19:19; 21:9,21). This, too, was used of God’s military action against Israel’s enemies (e.g., Judges 1:20,21,27, etc.; cf. God’s action, Amos 9:8; 1 Maccabees 14:14). Exairō thus hints at a religious action. For example, “to drive away, do away” with something evil was commendable (e.g., Sirach 49:2, of Josiah’s taking away the “abominations of iniquity” [idols]; cf. 2 Chronicles 15:17, of Asa who did not take away the “high places” out of Israel). Therefore, in one sense it denotes divine judgment (e.g., 2 Chronicles 7:20; Amos 2:9; Obadiah 9).
