1 Corinthians 5
5
1IT is absolutely heard, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens; that one should have his father's wife.
2And you are puffed up; and have not rather mourned, that he might be taken away from among you, that hath done this deed.
3I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,
4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus;
5To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?
7Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.
8Therefore let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.
10I mean not with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the extortioners, or the servers of idols; otherwise you must needs go out of this world.
11But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a server of idols, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.
12For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?
13For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.

Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church
1It is actually reported that there is #2 Cor. 12:21 sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, #Lev. 18:8; Deut. 22:30; 27:20for a man has his father’s wife. 2And #See ch. 4:6 you are arrogant! Ought you #[2 Cor. 7:7-10]not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
3For though #Col. 2:5; [1 Thess. 2:17]absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4When you are assembled #2 Thess. 3:6; [Matt. 16:19; 18:18; John 20:23; 2 Cor. 13:3, 10; 1 Tim. 5:20]in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5you are #1 Tim. 1:20; [Job 2:6; Acts 26:18] to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so #[Prov. 23:14] that his spirit may be saved #See ch. 1:8in the day of the Lord.#5:5 Some manuscripts add Jesus
6 #
James 4:16; [ver. 2] Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that #Gal. 5:9; [ch. 15:33]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 Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8Let us therefore celebrate the festival, #Ex. 12:15; Deut. 16:3 not with the old leaven, #[Matt. 16:6, 12; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1]the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter #[2 Cor. 6:14; Eph. 5:11; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14]not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10#[ch. 10:27] not at all meaning #Eph. 5:5; Col. 3:5; [ch. 6:9] the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, #[John 17:15]since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone #2 Thess. 3:6who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging #See Mark 4:11 outsiders? #[ch. 6:1-4]Is it not those inside the church#5:12 Greek those inside whom you are to judge? 13God judges#5:13 Or will judge those outside. #[Deut. 13:5; 17:7, 12; 21:21; 22:21, 22, 24; Judg. 20:13]“Purge the evil person from among you.”
