| 5:1 |
It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.
|
| 5:2 |
And you have become arrogant, and have not mourned instead, in order that the one who had done this deed might be removed from your midst.
|
| 5:3 |
For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.
|
| 5:4 |
In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
|
| 5:5 |
[I have decided] to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
|
| 5:6 |
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump [of dough]?
|
| 5:7 |
Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are [in fact] unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.
|
| 5:8 |
Let us therefore celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
|
| 5:9 |
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
|
| 5:10 |
I [did] not at all [mean] with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world.
|
| 5:11 |
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler-- not even to eat with such a one.
|
| 5:12 |
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within [the church]?
|
| 5:13 |
But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
