< 1 Corinthians 5 >
1 It is reported commonly that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have 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 have not rather mourned, that he who hath 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, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
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 Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
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 one to 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 boasting 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 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
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 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.
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 to you in my epistle not to associate with immoral people:
I wrote to you in the letter, not to keep company with whoremongers—
10 Yet not altogether with immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must 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 have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a person 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 to judge them also that are outside the church? do ye not judge them that are within?
for what have I also to judge those outside? Do you not judge those within?
13 But them that are outside God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
And judge those without God; and put away the evil from among yourselves.
