Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church

It is actually reported that there is (A)sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, (B)for a man has his father's wife. And (C)you are arrogant! Ought you (D)not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

For though (E)absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. When you are assembled (F)in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are (G)to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so (H)that his spirit may be saved (I)in the day of the Lord.[a]

10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (A)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them (B)wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day (C)the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. (D)Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;[a] whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When (E)the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” 14 So Moses (F)went down from the mountain to the people and (G)consecrated the people; (H)and they washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the (I)third day; (J)do not go near a woman.”
