< 1 Corinthians 5 >
1 Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations—as that one has the wife of the father!
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.
2 And you are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,
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.
3 for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so worked this thing:
For I, [as] absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,
4 in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—you being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[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:
5 to deliver up such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus.
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.
6 Your glorying [is] not good; have you not known that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
Your boasting [is] not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7 Cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, according as you are unleavened, for our Passover was sacrificed for us also—Christ,
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;
8 so that we may keep the celebration, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.
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.
9 I wrote to you in the letter, not to keep company with whoremongers—
I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;
10 and certainly not with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing you ought then to go forth out of the world—
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.
11 and now, I wrote to you not to keep company with [him], if anyone, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—do not even eat together with such a one;
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.
12 for what have I also to judge those outside? Do you not judge those within?
For what have I [to do] with judging those outside also? ye, do not ye judge them that are within?
13 And judge those without God; and put away the evil from among yourselves.
But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.
