1 Corinthians 5

Immorality Rebuked

It is universally reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as [is] not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.

Paul Condemns Spiritual Pride

I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you — something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.a

And *ye* are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.

You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

For *I*, [as] absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit.b And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man

[to deliver,] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:

in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church.c I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus.

to deliver him, [I say,] [being] such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyedd and he himselfe will be saved on the day the Lordf returns.

Your boasting [is] not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.g

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old breadh of wickedness and evil, but with the new breadi of sincerity and truth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.

not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since [then] ye should go out of the world.

But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that.

But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with [him]; with such a one not even to eat.

I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believerj yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

For what have *I* [to do] with judging those outside also? *ye*, do not ye judge them that are within?

It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.

But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.

God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”k
