1 Corinthians 5:7-13 ▼

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/.”
