Chapter 5
5. INCEST IN CORINTH
1
I have been told as an undoubted fact that one of you is living with his father’s wife.[*a] This is a case of sexual immorality among you that must be unparalleled even among pagans.
2
How can you be so proud of yourselves? You should be in mourning. A man who does a thing like that ought to have been expelled from the community.
3
Though I am far away in body, I am with you in spirit, and have already condemned the man who did this thing as if I were actually present.
4
When you are assembled together in the name of the Lord Jesus, and I am spiritually present with you, then with the power of our Lord Jesus
5
he is to be handed over to Satan so that his sensual body may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.
6
The pride that you take in yourselves is hardly to your credit. You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough,
7
so get rid of all the old yeast, and make yourselves into a completely new batch of bread, unleavened as you are meant to be. Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed;
8
let us celebrate the feast, then, by getting rid of all the old yeast of evil and wickedness, having only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.[*b]
9
When I wrote in my letter to you not to associate with people living immoral lives,
10
I was not meaning to include all the people in the world who are sexually immoral, any more than I meant to include all usurers and swindlers or idol worshippers. To do that, you would have to withdraw from the world altogether.
11
What I wrote was that you should not associate with a brother Christian who is leading an immoral life, or is a usurer, or idolatrous, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or is dishonest; you should not even eat a meal with people like that.
12
It is not my business to pass judgement on those outside. Of those who are inside, you can surely be the judges.
13
But of those who are outside, God is the judge. You must drive out this evil-doer from among you.[*c]
