Sittliche Übelstände in der Gemeinde von Korinth. Rüge des Apostels

Überhaupt hört man von Unzucht unter euch, und zwar von einer solchen Unzucht, die nicht einmal unter den Heiden vorkommt, daß nämlich einer seines Vaters Frau habe! Und ihr seid aufgebläht und hättet doch eher Leid tragen sollen, damit der, welcher diese Tat begangen hat, aus eurer Mitte getan würde! Denn ich, der ich zwar dem Leibe nach abwesend, dem Geiste nach aber anwesend bin, habe schon, als wäre ich anwesend, über den, welcher solches begangen hat, beschlossen: im Namen unsres Herrn Jesus Christus und nachdem euer und mein Geist sich mit der Kraft unsres Herrn Jesus Christus vereinigt hat, den Betreffenden dem Satan zu übergeben zum Verderben des Fleisches, damit der Geist gerettet werde am Tage des Herrn Jesus.

Euer Rühmen ist nicht fein! Wisset ihr nicht, daß ein wenig Sauerteig den ganzen Teig durchsäuert? Feget den alten Sauerteig aus, damit ihr ein neuer Teig seid, gleichwie ihr ja ungesäuert seid! Denn auch für uns ist ein Passahlamm geschlachtet worden: Christus. So wollen wir denn nicht mit altem Sauerteig Fest feiern, auch nicht mit Sauerteig der Bosheit und Schlechtigkeit, sondern mit ungesäuerten Broten der Lauterkeit und Wahrheit.

Ich habe euch in dem Brief[a] geschrieben, daß ihr keinen Umgang mit Unzüchtigen haben sollt; 10 nicht überhaupt mit den Unzüchtigen dieser Welt, oder den Habsüchtigen und Räubern oder Götzendienern; sonst müßtet ihr ja die Welt räumen. 11 Nun aber habe ich euch geschrieben, daß ihr keinen Umgang haben sollt mit jemandem, der sich Bruder nennen läßt und dabei ein Unzüchtiger oder Habsüchtiger oder Götzendiener oder Lästerer oder Trunkenbold oder Räuber ist; mit einem solchen sollt ihr nicht einmal essen. 12 Denn was soll ich die richten, die außerhalb [der Gemeinde] sind? Ihr richtet nicht einmal die, welche drinnen sind? 13 Die aber draußen sind, wird Gott richten. Tut den Bösen aus eurer Mitte hinweg!

Dealing With a Case of Incest

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife.(A) And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning(B) and have put out of your fellowship(C) the man who has been doing this? For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.(D) As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus(E) on the one who has been doing this. So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over(F) to Satan(G) for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.(H)

Your boasting is not good.(I) Don’t you know that a little yeast(J) leavens the whole batch of dough?(K) Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.(L) Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread(M) of sincerity and truth.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate(N) with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world(O) 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[c](P) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater(Q) or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.(R)

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside(S) the church? Are you not to judge those inside?(T) 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[d](U)

Sexual Immorality in the Church

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has (A)his father’s wife. And [a]you (B)have become puffed up and [b]have not (C)mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be (D)removed from your midst.

For I, on my part, though (E)absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present: (F)in the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and [c]I with you in spirit, (G)with the power of our Lord Jesus, (H)deliver such a one to (I)Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in (J)the day of [d]the Lord.

(K)Your boasting is not good. (L)Do you not know that (M)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ, our (N)Passover lamb, also was sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, (O)not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

I wrote you in my letter (P)not to associate with sexually immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with (Q)idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate [e]with any so-called (R)brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or (S)an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging (T)outsiders? (U)Are you not to judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside, God will judge. (V)Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
