1 Corinthians 5

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even among the nations, that one has his father's wife.

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.

2 You are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

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.

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

5 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.

hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed for us.

Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

9 I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

10 yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this 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 extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

12 For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are within?

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

13 But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked person from among yourselves."

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”
