1Corinthians:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you ,
and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father '
s wife !
*
And you are puffed up ,
and have not rather mourned ,
that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you .
*
For I indeed ,
as absent in body but present in spirit ,
have already judged (
as though I were present )
him who has so done this deed .
*
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
when you are gathered together ,
along with my spirit ,
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh ,
that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus .
*
Your glorying is not good .
Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump ?
*
Therefore purge out the old leaven ,
that you may be a new lump ,
since you truly are unleavened .
For indeed Christ ,
our Passover ,
was sacrificed for us .
*
Therefore 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 .
*
I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people .
*
Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world ,
or with the covetous ,
or extortioners ,
or idolaters ,
since then you would need to go out of the world .
*
But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother ,
who is sexually immoral ,
or covetous ,
or an idolater ,
or a reviler ,
or a drunkard ,
or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person .
*
For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside ?
Do you not judge those who are inside ?
*
But those who are outside God judges .
Therefore "
put away from yourselves the evil person ."
