1 Corinthians 5:9-13

New American Standard Bible

⁹I wrote to you in my letter ^(A)not to associate with sexually immoral people; ¹⁰I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with ^(B)idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world. ¹¹But ^[a]actually, I ^[b]wrote to you not to associate ^[c]with any so-called ^(C)brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or a greedy person, or ^(D)an idolater, or is verbally abusive, or habitually drunk, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a person. ¹²For what business of mine is it to judge ^(E)outsiders? ^(F)Do you not judge those who are within the church? ¹³But those who are outside, God ^[d]judges. ^(G)Remove the evil person from among yourselves.

New King James Version

Immorality Must Be Judged

⁹I wrote to you in my epistle ^(A)not to ^[a]keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰Yet 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 ^(B)out of the world. ¹¹But now I have written to you not to keep company ^(C)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—^(D)not even to eat with such a person.

¹²For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³But those who are outside God judges. Therefore ^(E)“put away from yourselves the evil person.”
