1 Corinthians 5
5
1It is heard certainely that there is fornication among you: and such fornication as is not once named among the Gentiles, that one should haue his fathers wife. 2And ye are puffed vp and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done this deede, might be put from among you. 3For I verely as absent in bodie, but present in spirit, haue determined already as though I were present, that he that hath thus done this thing, 4When ye are gathered together, and my spirit, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that such one, I say, by the power of our Lord Iesus Christ, 5Be deliuered vnto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saued in the day of the Lord Iesus. 6Your reioycing is not good: knowe ye not that a litle leauen, leaueneth ye whole lumpe? 7Purge out therefore the olde leauen, that ye may be a newe lumpe, as ye are vnleauened: for Christ our Passeouer is sacrificed for vs. 8Therefore let vs keepe the feast, not with olde leauen, neither in the leauen of maliciousnes and wickednesse: but with the vnleauened bread of synceritie and trueth. 9I wrote vnto you in an Epistle, that ye should not companie together with fornicatours, 10And not altogether with the fornicatours of this world, or with the couetous, or with extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must goe out of the world. 11But nowe I haue written vnto you, that ye companie not together: if any that is called a brother, be a fornicatour, or couetous, or an idolater, or a rayler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one eate not. 12For what haue I to doe, to iudge them also which are without? doe ye not iudge them that are within? 13But God iudgeth them that are without. Put away therefore from among your selues that wicked man.

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!”
