Judgment Against Immorality
1#Lev 18:8; Dt 22:30It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father’s wife. 2#1Co 5:13; 2Co 7:7–11But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you. 3#Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed, 4#Jn 20:23; 2Co 13:3in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5#1Ti 1:20; 1Co 1:8deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.
6#Gal 5:9; Jas 4:16Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch? 7#Ex 12:15; Mk 14:12Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us. 8#Ex 12:15; Dt 16:3Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9#Eph 5:11; 2Co 6:14I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10#1Co 10:27Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. 11#2Th 3:6; Mt 18:17; Ro 16:17But I have written to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.
12#Mk 4:11For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13#Dt 13:5; 17:7But God judges those who are outside. Therefore “put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”#Dt 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7.

The Report About a Sinful Man
1It’s actually reported that there is a sexual sin among you that’s so bad even people who don’t know God wouldn’t tolerate it. I’m told that a man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2And you’re proud of this! Shouldn’t you be grieving instead? Shouldn’t you have thrown this man out from among you? 3Even though I’m not there with you physically, I am with you in spirit. And because I’m with you in spirit, in the name of our Lord Jesus I’ve already judged the man who’s doing this. 4So when you gather together, and I’m with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is also present, 5hand this man over to Satan. His body may be destroyed, but his spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.
6Your bragging isn’t good. Don’t you know that just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise? 7Get rid of the old yeast. Then you can be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That’s what you really are already, because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. 8So let’s celebrate the Feast, but not with the old bread made with the yeast of hatred and wrongdoing. Let’s celebrate it with bread made without yeast, the bread of honesty and truth.
9I told you in my previous letter that you should stay away from people who commit sexual sins. 10I didn’t mean the people of this world who sin that way. And I wasn’t saying you should stay away from all people who are greedy, or who cheat others, or who worship statues of gods. To do that, you’d have to leave the world entirely! 11So let me clarify in this letter what I meant: You should stay away from anyone who claims to be a believer but who commits sexual sins, or is greedy, or worships idols, or tells lies about others, or gets drunk, or cheats. Don’t even eat with people like that.
12What business do I have judging those who are outside the church? But aren’t you supposed to judge those who are inside the church? 13God will judge those outside. But as for those inside, as Scripture says, “Throw out that person who’s doing wrong!”
