1 Corinthians
Chapter 5
1Above 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. ↗
2And 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. ↗
3Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this. ↗
4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus, ↗
5to 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. ↗
6It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass? ↗
7Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated. ↗
8And 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. ↗
9As I have written to you in an epistle: ”Do not associate with fornicators,“ ↗
10certainly 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. ↗
11But 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. ↗
12For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? But do not even you yourselves judge those who are inside? ↗
13For those who are outside, God will judge. But send this evil person away from yourselves. ↗
