1 Corinthians 5

Removing the “Hametz” from Your House
1It is actually reported that among you there is sexual immorality, and such immorality as is not even among the pagans—that someone has his father’s wife.
2And you are puffed up! Shouldn’t you have mourned instead, so that the one who did this deed might be removed from among you?
3For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit—I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this thing, as though I were present.
4When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Yeshua, I am with you in spirit. With the power of our Lord Yeshua,
5you are to turn such a fellow over to satan for the destruction of his fleshly nature, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua.
6Your boasting is no good. Don’t you know that a little hametz leavens the whole batch of dough?
7Get rid of the old hametz, so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened—for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.
8Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter not to mix together with sexually immoral people—
10not at all meaning the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy or swindlers or idolaters, for then you would have to exit the world.
11But now I am writing to you not to mix together with anyone who is being called a brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy or an idolater or a slanderer or a drunkard or a swindler—not even to eat with such a fellow.
12For what business do I have judging outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside?
13But those who are outside, God judges. Put away the wicked fellow from among yourselves.

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
