< 1 Corinthians 5 >
1 It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one [of you] hath his father’s wife.
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!
2 And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you.
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,
3 For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him that hath so wrought this thing,
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:
4 in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—you being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 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.
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.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Your glorying [is] not good; have you not known that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ:
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,
8 wherefore 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.
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.
9 I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;
I wrote to you in the letter, not to keep company with whoremongers—
10 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:
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—
11 but now I write unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.
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;
12 For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within,
for what have I also to judge those outside? Do you not judge those within?
13 whereas them that are without God judgeth? Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.
And judge those without God; and put away the evil from among yourselves.
