1 Corinthians 5

Immoral Church Members

1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality # 5:1 1Th 4:3 among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated # 5:1 Other mss read named among the Gentiles # 5:1 Gl 1:16 — a man is sleeping with his father’s wife. # 5:1 Lv 18:8; Dt 22:30; 27:20 2And you are arrogant! Shouldn’t you be filled with grief # 5:2 Lk 6:25 and remove from your congregation the one who did this? 3Even though I am absent in the body, I am present in spirit. # 5:3 Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17 As one who is present with you in this way, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who has been doing such a thing. 4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5hand that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, # 5:5 1Jn 5:16 so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. # 5:5 Mt 25:13; Ac 2:20; Php 1:6

6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little leaven # 5:6 Or yeast, also in vv. 7,8,# 5:6 Lk 13:21; Gl 5:9 leavens the whole batch of dough? # 5:6–8 Lk 13:21 7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new unleavened batch, as indeed you are. For Christ our Passover lamb # 5:7 Ex 12 has been sacrificed. # 5:7 Other mss add for us 8Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old leaven or with the leaven of malice and evil, # 5:8 Mk 7:22; Rm 1:29 but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Church Discipline

9I wrote to you in a letter not to associate # 5:9 2Th 3:14 with sexually immoral people. # 5:9 1Co 6:9; Eph 5:5; 1Tm 1:10; Heb 12:16; 13:4; Rv 21:8; 22:15 10I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy # 5:10 Eph 5:5 and swindlers # 5:10 Lk 18:11 or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world. # 5:10 Jn 17:6 11But actually, I wrote # 5:11 Or But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister # 5:11 2Th 3:6 and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard # 5:11 1Co 6:10 or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 12For what business is it of mine to judge # 5:12 Lk 6:37 outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? 13God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you. # 5:13 Dt 17:7,# 5:13 Dt 17:7

1 Corinthians 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 3:19; 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
