Who do modern Christians follow? Paul or Jesus?
Jesus:

Jesus:
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
John 6:37
Paul :
"It certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning."
1 Corinthians 5:12
"Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”, Jesus said:

Matthew 9 : 11 -12

But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

In Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
