Most information comes form wikipedia 49 BC, with Caesar crossing the Rubicon and his invading legions sweeping down the peninsula, Pompey ordered the abandonment of Rome. His legions retreated south towards Brundisium, where Pompey intended to find renewed strength by waging war against Caesar in the East. In the process, neither Pompey nor the Senate thought of taking the vast treasury with them, probably thinking that Caesar would not dare take it for himself. It was left conveniently in the Temple of Saturn when Caesar and his forces entered Rome.

Tarsus is on the Mediterranean edge of the Persian empire. Paul would have been a Roman citizen because Rome made all citizens of Tarsus Roman citizens. Cleopatra and Mark Anthony met here and was the scene of the celebrated feasts they gave during the construction of their fleet (41 BC). It would have been a town that was in love with Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. They would had recently seen Caesar killed, and his young son presumed dead. They would also have been the town where the central battle against Augustus would come from.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Some laws have been fulfilled and some laws are God's eternal will for how we are to live our lives if we want to honor Him. The sacrificial, ceremonial, and holiness laws like dietary laws have all been fulfilled either by Jesus or the coming of the Holy Spirit.
