| 3For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. | 3For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.

| 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? | 6Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? |
| 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. | 7Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. |

| 9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— | 9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- |

| 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? | 12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? |
| 13God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” | 13God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you." |
