NASB Bible

1 Corinthians 5

Immorality Rebuked

1

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has  ahis father's wife.

2

 1You  ahave become  2arrogant and  1have not  bmourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be  cremoved from your midst.

3

For I, on my part, though  aabsent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

4

 aIn the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and  1I with you in spirit,  bwith the power of our Lord Jesus,

5

I have decided to  adeliver such a one to  bSatan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in  cthe day of the Lord  1Jesus.

6

 aYour boasting is not good.  bDo you not know that  ca little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

7

Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our  aPassover also has been sacrificed.

8

Therefore let us celebrate the feast,  anot with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9

I wrote you in my letter  anot to associate with immoral people;

10

I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with  aidolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

11

But  1actually, I wrote to you not to associate  2with any so-called  abrother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or  ban idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

12

For what have I to do with judging  aoutsiders?  bDo you not judge those who are within the church?

13

But those who are outside, God  1judges.  aREMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
