| 1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated among the Gentiles--a man is sleeping with his father's wife. | 1I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. |
| 2And you are arrogant! Shouldn't you be filled with grief and remove from your congregation the one who did this? | 2You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship. |
| 3Even though I am absent in the body, I am present in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who has been doing such a thing. | 3Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit. And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man |
| 4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, | 4in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church. I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus. |
| 5hand that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. | 5Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns. |
| 6Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough? | 6Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough? |
| 7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new unleavened batch, as indeed you are. For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. | 7Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. |
| 8Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old leaven or with the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. | 8So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread of sincerity and truth. |
| 9I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. | 9When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. |
| 10I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world. | 10But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. |
| 11But actually, I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. | 11I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. |
| 12For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Don't you judge those who are inside? | 12It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. |
| 13God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you. | 13God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.” |
