1 Corinthians 5:1-13
5 Actually fornication*+ is reported among YOU, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, that a wife a certain [man] has of [his] father.*+
2 And are YOU puffed up,+ and did YOU not rather mourn,+ in order that the man that committed this deed should be taken away from YOUR midst?+
3 I for one, although absent in body but present in spirit, have certainly judged already,+ as if I were present, the man who has worked in such a way as this,
4 that in the name of our Lord Jesus, when YOU are gathered together, also my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus,+
5 YOU hand such a man over to Satan+ for the destruction of the flesh, in order that the spirit+ may be saved in the day of the Lord.+
6 YOUR [cause for] boasting+ is not fine. Do YOU not know that a little leaven ferments+ the whole lump?+
7 Clear away the old leaven, that YOU may be a new lump,+ according as YOU are free from ferment. For, indeed, Christ+ our passover+ has been sacrificed.+
8 Consequently let us keep the festival,+ not with old leaven,+ neither with leaven+ of badness and wickedness,+ but with unfermented cakes of sincerity and truth.+
9 In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators,
10 not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators+ of this world+ or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, YOU would actually have to get out of the world.+
11 But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company+ with* anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy+ person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard+ or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.
12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside?+ Do YOU not judge those inside,+
13 while God judges those outside?+ “Remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves.”+
