1 Corinthians (1 Co) 5
5
1It is actually being reported that there is sexual sin among you, and it is sexual sin of a kind that is condemned even by pagans — a man is living with his stepmother! 2And you stay proud? Shouldn’t you rather have felt some sadness that would have led you to remove from your company the man who has done this thing? 3For I myself, even though I am absent physically, am with you spiritually; and I have already judged the man who has done this as if I were present. 4In the name of the Lord Yeshua, when you are assembled, with me present spiritually and the power of our Lord Yeshua among us, 5hand over such a person to the Adversary for his old nature to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.
6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know the saying, “It takes only a little hametz to leaven a whole batch of dough?” 7Get rid of the old hametz, so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened. For our Pesach lamb, the Messiah, has been sacrificed. 8So let us celebrate the Seder not with leftover hametz, the hametz of wickedness and evil, but with the matzah of purity and truth.
9In my earlier letter I wrote you not to associate with people who engage in sexual immorality. 10I didn’t mean the sexually immoral people outside your community, or the greedy, or the thieves or the idol-worshippers — for then you would have to leave the world altogether! 11No, what I wrote you was not to associate with anyone who is supposedly a brother but who also engages in sexual immorality, is greedy, worships idols, is abusive, gets drunk or steals. With such a person you shouldn’t even eat! 12For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Isn’t it those who are part of the community that you should be judging? 13God will judge those who are outside. Just expel the evildoer from among yourselves.

Deut 22.30; 27.20. It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife. 2And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

Col 2.5. For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment 4#2 Thess 3.6. in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5#Mt 4.10; 1 Cor 1.3. you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.#5.5 Other ancient authorities omit Jesus

Gal 5.9. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. 8#Ex 12.19; 13.7; Deut 16.3. Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

2 Cor 6.14. I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; 10#1 Cor 10.27. not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11#2 Thess 3.6; 1 Cor 10.7,14,20-21. But rather I wrote#5.11 Or now I write to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber—not even to eat with such a one. 12#Mk 4.11. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13#Deut 17.7; 1 Cor 5.2. God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
