1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
-
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
-
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
-
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
-
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
-
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
-
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
-
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
-
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
-
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
-
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
-
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

- 1 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.
- 2 You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.
- 3 For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.
- 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
- 5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
- 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
- 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.
- 8 Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
- 9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
- 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
- 11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
- 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
- 13 But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
