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!

⁸ The nakedness of your ^(A)father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness.

¹¹ The man who lies with his ^(A)father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

⁸ “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^(A)so I spread ^[a]My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^(B)swore an oath to you and entered into a ^(C)covenant with you, and ^(D)you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

⁹ And he said, “Who are you?”

So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. ^(A)Take^[a] your maidservant under your wing, for you are ^(B)a ^[b]close relative.”

¹³ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore ^(A)“put away from yourselves the evil person.”
