1 Corinthians 5:1-8 ▼

1 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 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 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—you being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 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 glorying [is] not good; have you not known that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

7 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 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.
