1 IT is reported that immorality is com mon among you, and such immorality as is not known among pagans, that even a son should marry his father’s wife. It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife.
2 But instead of boasting as you have, rather had you sat down mourning that he who has done this deed has not been removed from among you. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?
3 For while I am far away from you in body, yet I am near you in spirit, and I have already judged, as though I were present, him who has done this deed. For 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. For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.
4 In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, gather together, and I will be with you in spirit and with the power of our LORD Jesus Christ; When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
5 So that you shall deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of his body, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ. you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump? Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
7 Clean out therefore the old leaven, so that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened. For our passover is Christ who was sacrificed for our sake. Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Get 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.
8 Therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of evil and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in an epistle not to associate with immoral persons. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—
10 I do not mean that you should separate completely from all the immoral people of this world, or from the fraudulent and extortioners, or from idolaters; otherwise you would be obliged to leave this world. not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
11 Now what I have written to you is this: you are not to associate with any person who is known as a brother and yet is immoral or fraudulent or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such a person you must not break bread. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12 For what business have I to judge those who are outside the church? But you may judge those who are within the church. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
13 God will judge the outsiders. Therefore, put away from among yourselves those wicked persons. God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”
