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.”

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.

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.”
