< 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 generally reported that there is incest among you; and such incest as is not even among the heathens--that one has 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 you are puffed up, and have not rather bewailed, so that he who has done this work might be taken from among 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:
Wherefore, I, indeed, as absent in the body yet present in spirit, have already, as present, judged him who committed this act.
4 in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—you being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
My sentence is this: You being assembled, my spirit also being with you; in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ,
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.
deliver this very person up to Satan for the 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 becoming. Do you not know, that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?
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,
Cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, seeing you are without leaven; for even our passover, Christ is sacrificed for us.
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.
Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with unleavened sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in the letter, not to keep company with whoremongers—
I wrote you, in that epistle, not to associate with the vicious;
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—
but I did not mean in general the fornicators of this world, the avaricious, the rapacious, or the idolaters; seeing, then, indeed, you must 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 write to you, if any one, called a brother, be a fornicator, or a covetous person, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; not to associate, not even to eat, with such a person.
12 for what have I also to judge those outside? Do you not judge those within?
For what have I to do to pronounce sentence on them also who are without? Do not you judge them who are within?
13 And judge those without God; and put away the evil from among yourselves.
But them are without, God judges. Therefore, put away from among yourselves the wicked person.
