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 commonly reported that there is lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not named even amongst the heathens, 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 are ye puffed up, and have not rather grieved? that he who hath committed this fact might be expelled 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:

For I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him who hath wrought this wickedness: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

4 in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—you being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

when ye are assembled together with my spirit, by the power, I say,

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.

of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good.

6 Your glorying [is] not good; have you not known that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Do ye not know that a little leaven leaveneth 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,

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, without leaven. For our paschal lamb, even Christ, was slain 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.

Wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavening of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in the letter, not to keep company with whoremongers—

I wrote to you in an epistle, not to associate with whoremongers:

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 not at all with the whoremongers of this world, or the covetous, or rapacious, or idolaters: since ye must then 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, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a one no not to eat.

12 for what have I also to judge those outside? Do you not judge those within?

For what have I to do to judge those that are without? and do not ye judge those that are within?

13 And judge those without God; and put away the evil from among yourselves.

But those who are without, God judgeth: and therefore put away the wicked one from among you.
