1 Corinthians 5

1 It is universally reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as [is] not even among the nations, so that one should 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 ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of 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, [as] absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

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 [to deliver, ] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:

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 him, [I say, ] [being] such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may 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. Do ye not know 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, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

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 so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] 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 have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

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

10 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since [then] ye should 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 have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with [him]; with such a one not even to eat.

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 have I [to do] with judging those outside also? ye, do not ye judge them that are within?

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

13 But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.

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