*
It is actually reported that there is immorality among you ,
and of a kind that is not found even among pagans ;
for a man is living with his father '
s wife .
*
And you are arrogant !
Ought you not rather to mourn ?
Let him who has done this be removed from among you .
*
For though absent in body I am present in spirit ,
and as if present ,
I have already pronounced judgment
*
in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing .
When you are assembled ,
and my spirit is present ,
with the power of our Lord Jesus ,
*
you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh ,
that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus .
*
Your boasting is not good .
Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump ?
*
Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump ,
as you really are unleavened .
For Christ ,
our paschal lamb ,
has been sacrificed .
*
Let us ,
therefore ,
celebrate the festival ,
not with the old leaven ,
the leaven of malice and evil ,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth .
*
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men ;
*
not at all meaning the immoral of this world ,
or the greedy and robbers ,
or idolaters ,
since then you would need to go out of the world .
*
But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed ,
or is an idolater ,
reviler ,
drunkard ,
or robber--not even to eat with such a one .
*
For what have I to do with judging outsiders ?
Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge ?
*
God judges those outside . "
Drive out the wicked person from among you ."
