Chapter 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.  

 

 

--

2


 

  You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For I most assuredly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.  

 

 

--

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


 

  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.  

 

 

--

6


 

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

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

9


 

  I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

11


 

  But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother 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.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within?  

 

 

--

13


 

  But those who are outside, God judges. 'Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.'
