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: —

In short, it is reported, there is whoredom among you; and such whoredom as is not even named among the heathen, that a son should even take 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 ye are inflated, and have not rather sitten down in grief, that he who hath done this deed might be separated from you.

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: —

And I, while distant from you in body but present with you in spirit, have already, as if present, judged him who perpetrateth this deed;

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

that ye all assemble together, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and I with you in spirit, together with the energy of our Lord Jesus Messiah;

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.

and that ye deliver him over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that in spirit he may have life, in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

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

Your glorying is not praiseworthy. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole 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 out from you the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover is the Messiah, who was slain for us.

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.

Therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity.

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

I wrote to you by letter, not to commingle with whoremongers.

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!

But I say not, with the whoremongers who are in the world, nor speak I of the avaricious, or of the rapacious, or of the idol-worshippers, otherwise ye would be obliged to go out of the 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 this is what I wrote to you, that ye commingle not, if any one is called a brother, and is a whoremonger, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread.

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

For what business have I to judge them who are without? But those within the body, judge ye,

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

and those without, God judgeth; and remove ye the wickedness from among you.
