1 Corinthians 5

1Actually, sexual immorality is reported among you, and such sexual immorality as does not even exist among the Gentiles—that someone has his father's wife.

2And you are arrogant, and did you not rather grieve, that the one who committed this act might be removed from your midst?

3For I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as if present the one who so performed this.

4In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you assemble with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5Hand such a person over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

6Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

7Cleanse out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

8So let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with fornicators.

10Not altogether with this world's sexually immoral, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would need to depart from the world.

11But now I wrote to you not to associate with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or greedy or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a one.

12For what is it to me to judge those outside? Do you not judge those inside?

13But God judges those outside. Remove the evil one from among yourselves.
