Remove Sexually Immoral People From Your Church: A Little Leaven Leavens The Lump

Sexual-immorality is actually being heard-of among you— and such sexual immorality which is not even among the Gentiles, that someone has[a] the wife of his father. And you are puffed-up, and did not mourn instead, in order that the one having done this deed might be taken out of your midst. For indeed I, being absent in the body but present in the[b] spirit, have already judged— as-though being present— the one having thus committed this thing. In the name of our Lord Jesus, you and my spirit having been gathered-together, with[c] the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to hand-over such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, in order that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
