教会容忍淫乱的事

风闻在你们中间有淫乱的事,这样的淫乱连外邦人中也没有,就是有人收了他的继母。 你们还是自高自大,并不哀痛,把行这事的人从你们中间赶出去! 我身子虽不在你们那里,心却在你们那里,好像我亲自与你们同在,已经判断了行这事的人, 就是你们聚会的时候,我的心也同在,奉我们主耶稣的名,并用我们主耶稣的权能, 要把这样的人交给撒旦,败坏他的肉体,使他的灵魂在主耶稣的日子可以得救。 你们这自夸是不好的。岂不知一点面酵能使全团发起来吗? 你们既是无酵的面,应当把旧酵除净,好使你们成为新团。因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督,已经被杀献祭了。 所以,我们守这节不可用旧酵,也不可用恶毒[a]、邪恶的酵,只用诚实真正的无酵饼。

不可和不洁的人相交

我先前写信给你们说,不可与淫乱的人相交, 10 此话不是指这世上一概行淫乱的,或贪婪的、勒索的,或拜偶像的,若是这样,你们除非离开世界方可。 11 但如今我写信给你们说:若有称为弟兄是行淫乱的,或贪婪的,或拜偶像的,或辱骂的,或醉酒的,或勒索的,这样的人不可与他相交,就是与他吃饭都不可。 12 因为审判教外的人与我何干?教内的人岂不是你们审判的吗? 13 至于外人,有神审判他们。你们应当把那恶人从你们中间赶出去!

Paul Condemns Spiritual Pride

I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.[a] You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit.[b] And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church.[c] I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus. Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed[d] and he himself[e] will be saved on the day the Lord[f] returns.

Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.[g] So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread[h] of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread[i] of sincerity and truth.

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. 10 But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. 11 I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer[j] yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”[k]
