1st Corinthians 5
5
CHAPTER 5
1Yet all manner of fornication is heard among you, and such fornication, which is not among heathen men, so that some man have the wife of his father.
2And ye be swollen [or blown] with pride, and not more had wailing, that he that did this work, be taken away from the middle of you.
3And I absent in body, but present in spirit, now have deemed, as present, him that hath thus wrought,
4when ye be gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and my spirit, with the virtue of the Lord Jesus,
5to betake such a man to Satan, into the perishing of flesh, that the spirit be safe in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not, that a little sourdough impaireth [or corrupteth] all the gobbet?
7Cleanse ye out the old sourdough, that ye be new sprinkling together, as ye be therf, [or without souring]. For Christ offered is our pask.
8Therefore eat we, not in old sourdough, neither in sourdough of malice and waywardness, but in therf things of clearness, and of truth.
9I wrote to you in an epistle, that ye be not meddled, [or mingled, or commune not], with lechers,
10not with lechers of this world, nor with covetous men, nor raveners, nor with men serving to maumets [or to idols], else ye should have gone out of this world.
11But now I have written to you, that ye be not meddled, [or mingled, or commune not with such]. If he that is named a brother among you, and is a lecher, or covetous, or serving to idols, or a curser, or full of drunkenness, or a ravener, to take no meat with such.
12For what is it to me to deem of them that be withoutforth? Whether ye deem not of things [or of them] that be withinforth?
13For God shall deem them that be withoutforth. Do ye away evil from yourselves.

Paul Condemns Spiritual Pride
1I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.#5:1 Greek his father’s wife. 2You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.
3Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit.#5:3 Or in spirit. And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man 4in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church.#5:4 Or In the name of the Lord Jesus, you must call a meeting of the church. I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus. 5Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed#5:5a Or so that his body will be destroyed; Greek reads for the destruction of the flesh. and he himself#5:5b Greek and the spirit. will be saved on the day the Lord#5:5c Other manuscripts read the Lord Jesus; still others read our Lord Jesus Christ. returns.
6Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough? 7Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.#5:7 Greek has been sacrificed. 8So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread#5:8a Greek not with old leaven. of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread#5:8b Greek but with unleavened [bread]. of sincerity and truth.
9When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. 10But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. 11I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer#5:11 Greek a brother. yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.
12It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”#5:13 Deut 17:7.
