1 Corintios 5
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Un caso de inmoralidad sexual
5 Se ha sabido de un caso de inmoralidad sexual entre ustedes, que ni siquiera los paganos tolerarían, y es que uno de ustedes tiene como mujer a la esposa de su padre.(A) 2 Ustedes están engreídos. ¿No deberían, más bien, lamentar lo sucedido y expulsar de entre ustedes al que cometió tal acción?
3 Yo, por mi parte, aunque físicamente no estoy entre ustedes, sí lo estoy en espíritu y, como si hubiera estado presente, he juzgado al que hizo tal cosa. 4 Cuando ustedes se reúnan, y en espíritu yo esté con ustedes, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y con su poder, 5 entreguen a ese hombre a Satanás para que lo destruya, a fin de que su espíritu sea salvado en el día del Señor Jesús.
6 No está bien que ustedes se jacten. ¿No saben que un poco de levadura hace fermentar toda la masa?(B) 7 Límpiense de la vieja levadura, para que sean una nueva masa, sin levadura, como en realidad lo son. Nuestra pascua,(C) que es Cristo, ya ha sido sacrificada por nosotros. 8 Así que celebremos la fiesta, pero no con la vieja levadura, ni con la levadura de malicia y de maldad, sino con panes sin levadura,(D) de sinceridad y de verdad.
9 Por carta ya les he dicho que no se junten con esos libertinos. 10 Y no me refiero a que se aparten del todo de los libertinos mundanos, o de los avaros, o de los ladrones, o de los idólatras, pues en ese caso tendrían que salirse de este mundo. 11 Más bien les escribí que no se junten con los que se dicen hermanos pero son libertinos, avaros, idólatras, insolentes, borrachos y ladrones. Con esa gente, ni siquiera coman juntos. 12 ¿Con qué derecho podría yo juzgar a los de afuera, si ustedes no juzgan a los de adentro? 13 A los de afuera, ya Dios los juzgará. Así que, ¡saquen de entre ustedes a ese perverso!

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.

New King James Version
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.”
