2. IL CASO DI INCESTO
5 Si sente da per tutto parlare di immoralità tra voi, e di una immoralità tale che non si riscontra neanche tra i pagani, al punto che uno convive con la moglie di suo padre. 2 E voi vi gonfiate di orgoglio, piuttosto che esserne afflitti, in modo che si tolga di mezzo a voi chi ha compiuto una tale azione! 3 Orbene, io, assente col corpo ma presente con lo spirito, ho gia giudicato come se fossi presente colui che ha compiuto tale azione: 4 nel nome del Signore nostro Gesù, essendo radunati insieme voi e il mio spirito, con il potere del Signore nostro Gesù, 5 questo individuo sia dato in balìa di satana per la rovina della sua carne, affinchè il suo spirito possa ottenere la salvezza nel giorno del Signore.
6 Non è una bella cosa il vostro vanto. Non sapete che un pò di lievito fa fermentare tutta la pasta? 7 Togliete via il lievito vecchio, per essere pasta nuova, poiché siete azzimi. E infatti Cristo, nostra Pasqua, è stato immolato! 8 Celebriamo dunque la festa non con il lievito vecchio, né con lievito di malizia e di perversità, ma con azzimi di sincerità e di verità.
9 Vi ho scritto nella lettera precedente di non mescolarvi con gli impudichi. 10 Non mi riferivo però agli impudichi di questo mondo o agli avari, ai ladri o agli idolàtri: altrimenti dovreste uscire dal mondo! 11 Vi ho scritto di non mescolarvi con chi si dice fratello, ed è impudico o avaro o idolàtra o maldicente o ubriacone o ladro; con questi tali non dovete neanche mangiare insieme. 12 Spetta forse a me giudicare quelli di fuori? Non sono quelli di dentro che voi giudicate? 13 Quelli di fuori li giudicherà Dio. Togliete il malvagio di mezzo a voi!

Immorality Defiles the Church
5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even [a]named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s (A)wife! 2 (B)And you are [b]puffed up, and have not rather (C)mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 (D)For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the (E)name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, (F)with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 (G)deliver such a one to (H)Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord [c]Jesus.
6 (I)Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that (J)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore [d]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed (K)Christ, our (L)Passover, was sacrificed [e]for us. 8 Therefore (M)let us keep the feast, (N)not with old leaven, nor (O)with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Immorality Must Be Judged
9 I wrote to you in my epistle (P)not to [f]keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go (Q)out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company (R)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—(S)not even to eat with such a person.
12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore (T)“put away from yourselves the evil person.”

King James Version
5 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 idolator, 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.
