1 Corinthians 5:3-13 ▼

3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit {pneumati}, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

4 When you⁺ are assembled in the name of our Lord {Kyriou} Jesus and I am with you in spirit {pneumatos}, along with the power {dynamei} of the Lord Jesus (YHWH saves),

5 hand this man over to Satan (the adversary) for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit {pneuma} may be saved on the Day of the Lord [the Lord Jesus].

6 Your⁺ boasting is not good. Do you⁺ not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you⁺ may be a new unleavened batch, as you⁺ really are. For Christ (the Anointed One), our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

9 I wrote you⁺ in my letter {epistolē} not to associate with sexually immoral people.

10 I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you⁺ would have to leave this world.

11 But now I am writing you⁺ not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you⁺ not to judge those inside?

13 God {Theos} will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you⁺ \Expel the evil from among you/.”
