1 Corinthians 5
Immorality Rebuked
1It 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 ahis father’s wife. 2 ▼▼ Or have you...?
You chave become ▼▼ Lit puffed up
arrogant and ▼▼ Or have you...?
have not fmourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be gremoved from your midst. 3For I, on my part, though habsent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present. 4 iIn the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and ▼▼ Lit my spirit, with the power
I with you in spirit, kwith the power of our Lord Jesus, 5I have decided to ldeliver such a one to mSatan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in nthe day of the Lord ▼▼ Two early mss do not contain Jesus
Jesus. 6 pYour boasting is not good. qDo you not know that ra little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our sPassover also has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us celebrate the feast, tnot with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote you in my letter unot to associate with immoral people; 10I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with vidolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11But ▼▼ Lit now
actually, I wrote to you not to associate ▼▼ Lit together if any man called a brother is
with any so-called ybrother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or zan idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler— not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging aaoutsiders? abDo you not judge those who are within the church? 13But those who are outside, God ▼▼ Or will judge
judges. ad Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
