1 Corintios 5
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Disciplina en la iglesia
5 Ya todo el mundo sabe que uno de ustedes está viviendo con su madrastra, como si viviera con su esposa. ¡Eso está muy mal! ¡Ni siquiera los que no son cristianos hacen algo así! 2 Y ustedes se sienten orgullosos de esto, cuando deberían estar avergonzados y haber echado de la iglesia a ese hombre. 3-4 Yo, aunque estoy lejos, siempre me preocupo y pienso en ustedes. Así que, la próxima vez que se reúnan, hagan de cuenta que estoy con ustedes, y recuerden que tienen el poder y la autoridad del Señor Jesús. Por eso, de parte de Jesucristo les digo que ese hombre es culpable, 5 y que deben entregarlo a Satanás. De ese modo, aunque Satanás destruya su cuerpo, su espíritu se salvará cuando vuelva el Señor Jesús.
6 No está bien que ustedes se sientan orgullosos de esto. Seguramente saben que basta un poco de levadura para hacer crecer toda la masa. 7-8 Por lo tanto, dejen de pecar. El pecado es como levadura vieja, que a todos echa a perder. Si dejan de pecar, serán personas nuevas, como los panes nuevos y sin levadura que se comen en la Pascua. Nuestra nueva vida es como la fiesta de la Pascua. Nuestro cordero de la Pascua es Cristo, que fue sacrificado en la cruz. Nosotros somos como el pan de la fiesta, y debemos ser como el pan sin levadura, es decir, sinceros y honestos. No seamos malos ni hagamos daño a nadie, pues seríamos como el pan que se hace con levadura vieja.
9 En la carta que les escribí antes, les ordené que no tuvieran nada que ver con las personas que tienen relaciones sexuales prohibidas.[a] 10 No quise decir que se apartaran totalmente de ellas, pues para no juntarse con personas así ustedes tendrían que salir de este mundo. No podrían apartarse totalmente de los que siempre desean más de lo que tienen, ni de los ladrones, ni de los que adoran a los ídolos, ni de los borrachos o de los que hablan mal de los demás. 11 Lo que quise decir fue que no deben tener amistad con los que dicen que son cristianos pero, en realidad, son unos malvados. Con personas así, ni siquiera deben sentarse a comer. 12-13 A mí no me toca juzgar a los que no son de la iglesia. Ya Dios los juzgará. Pero ustedes sí deben juzgar a los de la iglesia, y hacer lo que dice la Biblia: «Echen lejos de ustedes al pecador.»

Wickedness in the Church
5 It is actually being ·said [reported] that there is sexual sin among you. And it is a kind that ·does not happen [or is not tolerated] even among ·people who do not know God [pagans; Gentiles]. A man there ·has [is living in sin with; is sleeping with] his father’s wife [C probably his stepmother; Lev. 18:7–8; 20:11]. 2 And you are ·proud [arrogant; puffed up]! ·You should [L Should you not…?] have been filled with ·sadness [grief; mourning] so that the man who did this should be put out of your group. 3 I am not there with you in person, but I am with you in spirit. And I have already ·judged [condemned] the man who did that sin as if I were really there. 4 When you meet together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I meet with you in spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 then hand this man over to Satan. So his ·sinful self will be destroyed [sinful nature will be purged; or body/flesh will be destroyed; or body will be beaten down by sin], and his spirit will be saved on the day of the Lord.
6 Your ·bragging [boasting] is not good. You know the saying, “Just a little ·yeast [or leaven; C leaven is a small lump of fermented dough used to make a loaf rise, as yeast is today] makes the whole batch of dough rise [C yeast/leaven symbolizes the permeating influence of this man’s sin within the community; Gal. 5:9].” 7 ·Take out all [Cleanse; Purge] the old ·yeast [leaven] so that you will be a new batch of dough without ·yeast [leaven], which you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed [C Christ’s sacrificial death rescued us from spiritual death, just as the blood of the first Passover lambs rescued the children of Israel; Ex. 11—12]. 8 So let us celebrate this feast [C a new kind of Passover feast], but not with the bread that has the old ·yeast [leaven]—the ·yeast [leaven] of ·sin [evil; malice] and wickedness [C unleavened bread was used in the Passover celebration; Ex. 12:15; Deut. 16:3]. Let us celebrate this feast with the bread that has no ·yeast [leaven]—the bread of ·goodness [sincerity] and truth.
9 I wrote you in my earlier letter not to associate with those who sin sexually. 10 But I did not [L at all] mean you should not associate with those of this world who sin sexually, or with the greedy, or ·robbers [or swindlers], or those who worship idols. To get away from them you would have to leave this world. 11 I am writing to tell you that you must not associate with those who call themselves ·believers in Christ [a brother or sister] but who sin sexually, or are greedy, or worship idols, or ·abuse others with words [slander], or get drunk, or ·cheat [swindle] people. Do not even eat with people like that.
1 Corinthians 5
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.
