1 Corinthians Chapter 5 Back Next{5:1} It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the
Gentiles, that one has his father's wife.
{5:2} You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
{5:3} For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.
{5:4} In the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
{5:5} are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
{5:6} Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast
leavens the whole lump?
{5:7} Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
{5:8} Therefore let us keep the
feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
{5:9} I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;
{5:10} yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.
{5:11} But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a
brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a
drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.
{5:12} For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within?
{5:13} But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."
