1 Corinthians 5

English MEV 2014 (Modern English Version)

← Chapter 4 Jump to: Chapter 6 →

1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father’s wife.

2But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you.

3For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed,

4in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch?

7Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.

8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

10Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world.

11But I have written to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.

12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

13But God judges those who are outside. Therefore “put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”
