| Chapter 5 |
1 |
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father's wife. --
|
2 |
You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you. --
|
3 |
For I most assuredly, 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 Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, --
|
5 |
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 |
Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? --
|
7 |
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 |
Therefore let us 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 to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners; --
|
10 |
yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world. --
|
11 |
But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person. --
|
12 |
For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within? --
|
13 |
But those who are outside, God judges. 'Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.' --
