1 Corinthians 5:1-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Need for Church Discipline and Personal Sanctification
5 It is actually[a] reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and it is a kind of sexual immorality that not even the Gentiles practice: A man has his father’s wife! 2 Yet you are proud! Shouldn’t you have been filled with sorrow so that the man who did this deed would be removed from among you? 3 Even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and as one who is present, I have already decided about the man who has done such a thing. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit is there, along with the power of our Lord Jesus,[b] 5 hand such a man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.[c]
