1 Corinthians 5
5
1Zenut (fornication) is actually reported among you, and such zenut which is not even among the Goyim, that one of you Corinthians has the isha (wife) of his abba.#5:1 Lv 18:8
2And you have been puffed up with ga'avah (pride). Should you not rather have been filled with agmat nefesh (grief), so that he who has done this would have been taken away from among you?
3For I indeed being not present in habasar but being not absent in the Ruach Hakodesh have already, as being present, pronounced the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiachʼs Bet Din mishpat on the one who has done such a thing.
4In the name of Adoneinu Yehoshua, when you have assembled in your shul#5:4 Ro 2:2 and I am with you by the same Ruach Hakodesh along with the gevurat Adoneinu Yehoshua,
5You are to transmit and hand over to HaSatan such a person for the churban of the basar,#5:5 1C 3:16-17 that his neshamah may be spared in the Yom Hashem.#5:5 Am 5:18; Mal 4:1; Yoel 2:1-17
6Your boasting is not good. Do you not have da'as that a little chametz all the mixture leavens?
7Purge out the old chametz (leavened bread), that you may be issa chadasha (new dough, batzek, deaf dough, having no indication of fermentation), as you are indeed like matzot (unleavened bread). More than that, our Korban Pesach has been sacrificed, Moshiach.#5:7 Ex 12:3-6,21
8So let us celebrate Pesach, not with old chametz, nor with the chametz of kavvanah ra'ah (malice) and wickedness, but with matzot of kenut (sincerity) and emes.#5:8 Ex 12:14,15; Dt 16:3
9I wrote to you in the iggeret not to mix with those engaging in acts of zenut (fornication),
10Not meaning to completely disassociate from the zannayim of the Olam Hazeh or those guilty of chamdanut (greed) and the ones practicing hona'ah (swindling) or those guilty of avodah zarah (idol worship), als (since) in that case you would have to exit the Olam Hazeh.
11But, now I wrote to you not to mix with any “Ach b'Moshiach” who is a zannay (fornicator) or a kamtzan (miser) or an oved elilim (idolater) or a megadef (reviler) or a shikkor (drunkard) or a shoded (robber); with such a man do not sit at tish (table), do not share betzi'at halechem (breaking of bread).
12For what is it to me to sit as a dayan in the Bet Din and then judge ones outside the kehillah? Will your Bet Din not judge the ones within [the kehillah]?
13But the outsiders Hashem judges. UVI'ARTA HARA MIKKIR'BECHA (You must purge the evil from among you).#5:13 Dt 17:7; 19:19; 22:21,24; 24:7

Immorality in the Church
1 #
Deut 22.30
Now, it is actually being said that there is sexual immorality among you so terrible that not even the heathen would be guilty of it. I am told that a man is sleeping with his stepmother! 2How, then, can you be proud? On the contrary, you should be filled with sadness, and the man who has done such a thing should be expelled from your fellowship. 3-4And even though I am far away from you in body, still I am there with you in spirit; and as though I were there with you, I have in the name of our Lord Jesus already passed judgement on the man who has done this terrible thing. As you meet together, and I meet with you in my spirit, by the power of our Lord Jesus present with us, 5you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

Gal 5.9
It is not right for you to be proud! You know the saying, “A little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.” 7#Ex 12.5You must remove the old yeast of sin so that you will be entirely pure. Then you will be like a new batch of dough without any yeast, as indeed I know you actually are. For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8#Ex 13.7; Deut 16.3Let us celebrate our Passover, then, not with bread having the old yeast of sin and wickedness, but with the bread that has no yeast, the bread of purity and truth.
9In the letter that I wrote you I told you not to associate with immoral people. 10Now I did not mean pagans who are immoral or greedy or are thieves or who worship idols. To avoid them you would have to get out of the world completely. 11What I meant was that you should not associate with a person who calls himself a believer but is immoral or greedy or worships idols or is a slanderer or a drunkard or a thief. Don't even sit down to eat with such a person.
12-13 #
Deut 13.5; 17.7 (LXX) After all, it is none of my business to judge outsiders. God will judge them. But should you not judge the members of your own fellowship? As the scripture says, “Remove the evil person from your group.”
