1 Corinthians 5:4-13 ▼

4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you and my spirit have come together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 that we deliver such a one over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your boasting is not good; know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

7 Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are without leaven; for Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed for us.

8 Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

9 I have written to you in the letter not to associate with lewd persons;

10 yet without the lest allusion to the lewd, or the covetous, or the extortioners, or the idolaters of this world; for then you must go out of the world;

11 but now I write to you, not to associate with any one professing to be a brother, if he is lewd or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one not even to eat.

12 For what right have I to judge those who are without? Do you not judge those who are within?

13 But God will judge those who are without. So then judge , and put away that wicked man from among you.
