1 It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father’s wife! ISV — 1Corinthians 5:1
2 And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:2
3 Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:3
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too, ISV — 1Corinthians 5:4
5 turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, a5:5 Or flesh so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. b5:5 Other mss. read Lord Jesus; still other mss. read our Lord Jesus, the Messiah ISV — 1Corinthians 5:5
6 Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don’t you? ISV — 1Corinthians 5:6
7 Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, c5:7 Or Christ our Passover, has been sacrificed. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:7
8 So let’s keep celebrating the festival, neither with old yeast nor with yeast that is evil and wicked, but with yeast-free bread that is both sincere and true. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:8
9 I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral— ISV — 1Corinthians 5:9
10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:10
11 But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. You must even stop eating with someone like that. ISV — 1Corinthians 5:11
12 After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren’t you? ISV — 1Corinthians 5:12
13 God will judge outsiders. “Expel that wicked man.” d5:13 Deut 17:7 (LXX) ISV — 1Corinthians 5:13
