1 Corinthians 5

1 On all hands, there is reported to be among you—fornication, and such fornication as this—which, not among the nations, [is found], —as that one should have, his father’s wife: —

Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father.

2 And, ye, have become puffed up, and have not rather mourned, in order that he might be removed out of your midst, who, this deed, hath wrought.

And yet you are inflated, and you have not instead been grieved, so that he who has done this thing would be taken away from your midst.

3 For, I, indeed, —being absent in the body, but present in the spirit, have already judged, as present, him who, thus, this thing hath perpetrated: —

Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this.

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

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 To deliver such a one as this, unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, —that, the spirit, may be saved in the day of the Lord.

to hand over such a one as this to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6 Unseemly, is your boast! Know ye not that, a little leaven, doth leaven, the whole of the lump?

It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass?

7 Purge ye out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, —even as ye are unleavened; for, our passover, hath even been sacrificed—Christ:

Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated.

8 So then, let us be keeping the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of baseness and wickedness, —but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

And so, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote unto you in my letter—not to be mixing yourselves up with fornicators; —

As I have written to you in an epistle: “Do not associate with fornicators,”

10 Not at all, [meaning] the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters, —else had ye been obliged, in that case, to go out of the world!

certainly not with the fornicators of this world, nor with the greedy, nor with robbers, nor with the servants of idolatry. Otherwise, you ought to depart from this world.

11 But, now, I have written unto you not to be mixing yourselves up, —if anyone named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one as this, not so much, as to be eating together,

But now I have written to you: do not associate with anyone who is called a brother and yet is a fornicator, or greedy, or a servant of idolatry, or a slanderer, or inebriated, or a robber. With such a one as this, do not even take food.

12 For what have I to do to be judging them who are without? Do, ye, not judge, them who are within,

For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? But do not even you yourselves judge those who are inside?

13 Whereas, them who are without, God, judgeth? Remove ye the wicked man from among, yourselves.

For those who are outside, God will judge. But send this evil person away from yourselves.
