1 Corinthians 5

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not even named among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.

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

5 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 Jesus.

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

7 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 for us.

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

10 I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy or swindlers or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

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

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

1 ¶ It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,

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

5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 ¶ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

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

9 ¶ I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1 There is a common cry that fornication is among you, and such fornication as the heathen know not how to say, that one hath his father's wife.

2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather borne affliction, that he that did the work might be done by you.

3 I indeed, being absent in body, but present in spirit, have already decided as present concerning him whom these things have done:

4 in the name of our Lord JEsu Christ, in your assembly with my Spirit and with the power of our Lord JEsu Christ.

5 To deliver him up unto Satan to the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of JESUS the LORD.

6 your glory is not fine. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new dough, even as ye are unleavened. For we also have a paschal lamb, which is Christ, sacrificed for us.

8 Let us therefore keep the passover, not in the old leaven, neither in the leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the sweet dough of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote unto you in the epistle, that ye should have nothing to do with harlots.

10 This I mean not at all of the harlots of this world, or of the covetous, or of the robbers, or of the idolaters; otherwise ye must leave the world.

11 But now I have written unto you, that ye should have nothing to do with them: for if any man be called a brother, and be a whoremonger, or a covetous man, or an idolater, or a profane man, or a drunkard, or a robber, with him ye shall not eat.

12 For what have I to do with them that are without, that I should judge them? Judge ye not them that are within?

13 But God shall judge them that are without. Put out from yourselves those who are evil!
