< 1 Corinthians 5 >

1 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.
Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.
2 You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from amongst you.
And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?
3 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.
For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,
4 In the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
in the name of the Lord Jesus, you and my spirit being assembled, with the power of the Lord Jesus,
5 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 Yeshua.
to turn over such a one to Satan for the destruction of carnality, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.
8 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.
So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;
I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;
10 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.
not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world.
11 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.
For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.
12 For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?
For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.
13 But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from amongst yourselves.”
Take away the wicked person from you, yourselves.
