1 Corinthians 5:1-7 ▼

1 It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles, so that someone is cohabiting with his father's wife.

2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?

3 For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.

4 When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough?

7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough--you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
