1 Corinthians 5

Immorality Rebuked

 ¹It 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 ^(A)his father's wife.

 ²You ^(B)have become arrogant and have not ^(C)mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be ^(D)removed from your midst.

 ³For I, on my part, though ^(E)absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

 ^4(F)In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, ^(G)with the power of our Lord Jesus,

 ⁵I have decided to ^(H)deliver such a one to ^(I)Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in ^(J)the day of the Lord ^[a]Jesus.

 ^6(K)Your boasting is not good ^(L)Do you not know that ^(M)a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

 ⁷Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our ^(N)Passover also has been sacrificed.

 ⁸Therefore let us celebrate the feast, ^(O)not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

 ⁹I wrote you in my letter ^(P)not to associate with immoral people;

 ¹⁰I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with ^(Q)idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

 ¹¹But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called ^(R)brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or ^(S)an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

 ¹²For what have I to do with judging ^(T)outsiders? ^(U)Do you not judge those who are within the church?

 ¹³But those who are outside, God judges. ^(V)REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
