Judgment Against Immorality
1#Lev 18:8; Dt 22:30It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father’s wife. 2#1Co 5:13; 2Co 7:7–11But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you. 3#Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed, 4#Jn 20:23; 2Co 13:3in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5#1Ti 1:20; 1Co 1:8deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.
6#Gal 5:9; Jas 4:16Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch? 7#Ex 12:15; Mk 14:12Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us. 8#Ex 12:15; Dt 16:3Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9#Eph 5:11; 2Co 6:14I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10#1Co 10:27Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. 11#2Th 3:6; Mt 18:17; Ro 16:17But I have written to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.
12#Mk 4:11For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13#Dt 13:5; 17:7But God judges those who are outside. Therefore “put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”#Dt 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7.

Don’t Let Your People Live in Sin
1I don’t want to believe what I am hearing—that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a bad kind of sexual sin that even those who have never known God don’t allow it. People say that a man there has his father’s wife. 2And still you are proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with sadness. And the man who committed that sin should be put out of your group. 3I cannot be there with you in person, but I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the man who did this. I judged him the same as I would if I were really there. 4Come together in the name of our Lord Jesus. I will be with you in spirit, and you will have the power of our Lord Jesus with you. 5Then turn this man over to Satan. His sinful self#5:5 sinful self Or “body.” Literally, “flesh.” has to be destroyed so that his spirit will be saved on the day when the Lord comes again.
6Your proud talk is not good. You know the saying, “Just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.” 7Take out all the old yeast, so that you will be a new batch of dough. You really are bread without yeast—Passover bread.#5:7 Passover bread The special bread without yeast that the Jews ate at their Passover meal. Paul means that believers are free from sin, just as the Passover bread was free from yeast. Yes, Christ our Passover Lamb#5:7 Passover Lamb Jesus was a sacrifice for his people, like a lamb killed for the Jewish Passover Feast. has already been killed. 8So let us eat our Passover meal, but not with the bread that has the old yeast, the yeast of sin and wrongdoing. But let us eat the bread that has no yeast. This is the bread of goodness and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter that you should not associate with people who sin sexually. 10But I did not mean the people of this world. You would have to leave the world to get away from all the people who sin sexually, or who are greedy and cheat each other, or who worship idols. 11I meant you must not associate with people who claim to be believers but continue to live in sin. Don’t even eat with a brother or sister who sins sexually, is greedy, worships idols, abuses others with insults, gets drunk, or cheats people.
12-13It is not my business to judge those who are not part of the group of believers. God will judge them, but you must judge those who are part of your group. The Scriptures say, “Make the evil person leave your group.”#Quote from Deut. 22:21, 24.
