1 Corinthians 5

1 Fornication is actually heard among you, and such fornication that is not even named among the Gentiles, for some man to have his father's wife.

In short, it is reported, there is whoredom among you; and such whoredom as is not even named among the heathen, that a son should even take the wife of his father.

2 And ye are puffed up and did not rather mourn, so that he who committed this deed might be taken away from the midst of you.

And ye are inflated, and have not rather sitten down in grief, that he who hath done this deed might be separated from you.

3 For I truly, as being absent in the body but present in the spirit, I have already, as though present, judged the man who committed this thing this way.

And I, while distant from you in body but present with you in spirit, have already, as if present, judged him who perpetrateth this deed;

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that ye all assemble together, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and I with you in spirit, together with the energy of our Lord Jesus Messiah;

5 to deliver such a man to Satan for destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

and that ye deliver him over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that in spirit he may have life, in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

6 Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Your glorying is not praiseworthy. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass?

7 Purge out the old leaven, so that ye may be a new lump, since ye are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.

Purge out from you the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover is the Messiah, who was slain for us.

8 Therefore we should feast, not by old leaven, nor by leaven of evil and wickedness, but by non-leaven of sincerity and truth.

Therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity.

9 I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with fornicators,

I wrote to you by letter, not to commingle with whoremongers.

10 and not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with greedy men, or with predators, or with idolaters, since then ye would need to go out of the world.

But I say not, with the whoremongers who are in the world, nor speak I of the avaricious, or of the rapacious, or of the idol-worshippers, otherwise ye would be obliged to go out of the world.

11 But now I write to you not to associate if any man who is called a brother is a fornicator, or a greedy man, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or a predator, not even to eat with such kind.

But this is what I wrote to you, that ye commingle not, if any one is called a brother, and is a whoremonger, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread.

12 For what is in me to also judge those outside? Do ye not judge those inside?

For what business have I to judge them who are without? But those within the body, judge ye,

13 But God judges those outside. And ye yourselves shall drive out the evil man from you.

and those without, God judgeth; and remove ye the wickedness from among you.
