< 1 Corinthians 5 >

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.
It is commonly reported that there is lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not named even amongst the heathens, that one should have his father's wife.
2 You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
And are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled from among you?
3 For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.
For I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him who hath wrought this wickedness: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
when ye are assembled together with my spirit, by the power, I say,
5 you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
Do ye not know that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass?
7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, without leaven. For our paschal lamb, even Christ, was slain for us.
8 Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavening of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;
I wrote to you in an epistle, not to associate with whoremongers:
10 yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world.
but I did not mean not at all with the whoremongers of this world, or the covetous, or rapacious, or idolaters: since ye must then go out of the world.
11 But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.
But now I have written to you, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a one no not to eat.
12 For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?
For what have I to do to judge those that are without? and do not ye judge those that are within?
13 But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”
But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.
