1 Corinthians 5:4-13 ▼

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

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

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

10 yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

11 But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are within?

13 But those who are outside, God judges. |Put away the wicked person from among yourselves.|
