1 Corinthians 5

It is actually reported {that there is} sexual immorality among you, and such immorality which {is} not even among the Gentiles—that someone has his father’s wife.

And you are puffed up, and you did not mourn instead, so that the one having done this deed might be removed from among you. \*

For even I, being absent in the body but being present in the spirit, have already passed judgment on the one having done such a thing, as if being present.

You and my spirit, having been assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. \*

Your boasting {is} not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole loaf?

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be new dough, just as you are unleavened bread. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has also been sacrificed.

So then, we should celebrate the festival, not with old yeast, nor with yeast of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. \*

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

by no means the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out from the world. \*

But now I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother {who} is sexually immoral or greedy or an idolater or verbally abusive or a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

For what to me to judge the ones outside? Do you not judge the ones inside?

But God judges the ones outside. “Remove the evil from among yourselves.” \*
