Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
Casting out the scornful person causes contention to go out. That same removal brings strife and reproach to a stop, so that they cease. Applied to the church, this means those who pervert Scripture and stir conflict are to be put away in order for discord to cease.
