Immoral Church Members
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality#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#Gl 1:16 — a man is sleeping with his father’s wife.#Lv 18:8; Dt 22:30; 27:20 2And you are arrogant! Shouldn’t you be filled with grief#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.#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,#1Jn 5:16 so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.#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#Lk 13:21; Gl 5:9 leavens the whole batch of dough?#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#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,#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#2Th 3:14 with sexually immoral people.#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#Eph 5:5 and swindlers#Lk 18:11 or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.#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#2Th 3:6 and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard#1Co 6:10 or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 12For what business is it of mine to judge#Lk 6:37 outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? 13God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you.#5:13Dt 17:7#Dt 17:7

Dealing With a Case of Incest
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,#5:5 In contexts like this, the Greek word for flesh (sarx) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.#5:5 Or of his body so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister#5:11 The Greek word for brother or sister (adelphos) refers here to a believer, whether man or woman, as part of God’s family; also in 8:11, 13. but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”#5:13 Deut. 13:5; 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21,24; 24:7
