1 Corinthians 5

1 Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father.2 And yet you are inflated, and you have not instead been grieved, so that he who has done this thing would be taken away from your midst.3 Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this.4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus,5 to hand over such a one as this to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.6 It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass?7 Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated.8 And so, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.9 As I have written to you in an epistle: “Do not associate with fornicators,”10 certainly not with the fornicators of this world, nor with the greedy, nor with robbers, nor with the servants of idolatry. Otherwise, you ought to depart from this world.11 But now I have written to you: do not associate with anyone who is called a brother and yet is a fornicator, or greedy, or a servant of idolatry, or a slanderer, or inebriated, or a robber. With such a one as this, do not even take food.12 For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? But do not even you yourselves judge those who are inside?13 For those who are outside, God will judge. But send this evil person away from yourselves.

Church Discipline

1 It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles, so that someone is cohabiting witht his father’s wife.2 And you are proud!t Shouldn’t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did thist from among you?3 For even though I am absent physically,t I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.t4 When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus,s and I am with you in spirit,t along with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be savedt in the day of the Lord.s
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeasts affectst the whole batch of dough?7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.t
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.10 In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christiant who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive,t or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside?

13 But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.s
