Remove Sexually Immoral People From Your Church: A Little Leaven Leavens The Lump
5 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, you and my spirit having been gathered-together, with[c] the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 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. 6 Your boast is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Clean-out the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened. For indeed, our Passover [Lamb] was sacrificed[d]— Christ. 8 So then let us celebrate-the-feast not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of badness[e] and evilness, but with the unleavened loaves of purity[f] and truth.

Scribes Say Jesus Uses Satan’s Power. Such Blasphemy of The Spirit Will Not Be Forgiven
20 And He goes into a house[a]. And the crowd comes-together again, so that they were not even able to eat bread. 21 And having heard-of it, the ones[b] from Him went-forth to take-hold-of [c] Him. For they were saying[d] that “He lost-His-senses”. 22 And the scribes having come down from Jerusalem were saying that “He has Beelzebul”, and that “He is casting-out the demons by[e] the ruler of the demons”. 23 And having summoned them, He was speaking to them in parables: “How is Satan able to be casting-out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand; 25 and if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan stood-up against himself and was divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end[f]. 27 But no one, having entered into the house of the strong man, can plunder his things unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder[g] his house. 28 Truly I say to you that all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven to the sons of humans[h], whatever they may blaspheme. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 because[i] they were saying “He has an unclean spirit”.
Whoever Does The Will of God Is My Family
31 And His mother and His brothers come. And while standing outside, they sent-forth a message to Him, calling Him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around Him. And they say to Him, “Behold— Your mother and Your brothers and Your sisters are outside seeking You”. 33 And having responded to them, He says “Who is My mother and My brothers?” 34 And having looked-around-at the ones sitting in a circle around Him, He says “Look— My mother and My brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God— this one is My brother and sister and mother”.
