1 Corinthians 5

1 Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

It is reported commonly [that there is] lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

2 And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,

4 in the name of the Lord Jesus, you and my spirit being assembled, with the power of the Lord Jesus,

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

5 to turn over such a one to Satan for the destruction of carnality, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

To deliver such 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. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Your boasting [is] not good. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.

Cleanse out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8 So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

9 I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;

I have written to you in this epistle, not to associate with persons guilty of lewdness:

10 not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world.

Yet not altogether with lewd persons of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must needs go out of the world.

11 For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is a lewd person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such person no not to eat.

12 For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do ye not judge them that are within?

13 Take away the wicked person from you, yourselves.

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
