1 Corinthians 5:9-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Sexual Immorality Must Be Judged
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men;[a] 10 not at all meaning the immoral[b] of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But rather I wrote[c] to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality[d] or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
