1 Corinthians 5:9-12
New King James Version
Immorality Must Be Judged
9 I wrote to you in my epistle (A)not to [a]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 (B)out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company (C)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—(D)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?

1 Corinthians 5:9-12
New International Version
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate(A) with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world(B) who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a](C) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater(D) or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.(E)
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside(F) the church? Are you not to judge those inside?(G)
