| 5:1 |
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife.
|
| 5:2 |
And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?
|
| 5:3 |
Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
|
| 5:4 |
When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
|
| 5:5 |
hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.
|
| 5:6 |
Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?
|
| 5:7 |
Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
|
| 5:8 |
Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.
|
| 5:9 |
I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people--
|
| 5:10 |
not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
|
| 5:11 |
But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
|
| 5:12 |
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
|
| 5:13 |
God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
