Deut 22.30; 27.20. It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife. 2And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

Col 2.5. For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment 4#2 Thess 3.6. in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5#Mt 4.10; 1 Cor 1.3. you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.#5.5 Other ancient authorities omit Jesus

Gal 5.9. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. 8#Ex 12.19; 13.7; Deut 16.3. Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

2 Cor 6.14. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; 10#1 Cor 10.27. not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11#2 Thess 3.6; 1 Cor 10.7,14,20-21. But rather I wrote#5.11 Or now I write to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber—not even to eat with such a one. 12#Mk 4.11. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13#Deut 17.7; 1 Cor 5.2. God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”

1It is widely reported that there is sexual immorality # 1Th 4:3 among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated # Other mss read named among the Gentiles # Gl 1:16 — a man is living with his father’s wife. # Lv 18:8; Dt 22:30; 27:20 2And you are inflated with pride, instead of filled with grief # Lk 6:25 so that he who has committed this act might be removed from your congregation. 3For though I am absent in body but present in spirit, # Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17 I have already decided about the one who has done this thing as though I were present. 4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, # 1Jn 5:16 so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord. # Mt 25:13; Ac 2:20; Php 1:6
6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast # Lk 13:21; Gl 5:9 permeates the whole batch of dough? # Lk 13:21 7Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover # Ex 12 has been sacrificed. # Other mss add for us 8Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast or with the yeast of malice and evil # Mk 7:22; Rm 1:29 but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote to you in a letter not to associate # 2Th 3:14 with sexually immoral people. # 1Co 6:9; Eph 5:5; 1Tm 1:10; Heb 12:16; 13:4; Rv 21:8; 22:15 10I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy # Eph 5:5 and swindlers # Lk 18:11 or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world. # Jn 17:6 11But now I am writing # Or now I wrote you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer # Lit anyone named a brother # 2Th 3:6 who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard # 1Co 6:10 or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 12For what business is it of mine to judge # Lk 6:37 outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? 13But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves. # Dt 17:7 # Dt 17:7
