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: —

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality amongst you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named amongst the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

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.

You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from amongst 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: —

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.

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, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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.

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.

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

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

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 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.

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’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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 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.

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

For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

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

But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from amongst yourselves.”
