1 Corinthians 5

1It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father’s wife. 2And you are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3For I truly, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him who has so done this thing, 4in the name of our Lord Yeshua, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yeshua, 5to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua. 6Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For our passover also has been sacrificed, even Messiah: 8therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote to you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators; 10not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would need to go out of the world: 11but as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. 12For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are within? 13But those who are outside God judges. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.
