Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 5
{5:1} It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among
you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the
Gentiles, that one has his father's wife. {5:2} You are puffed up, and
didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed
from among you. {5:3} For I most certainly, as being absent in body
but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged
him who has done this thing. {5:4} In the name of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of
our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, {5:5} are to deliver such a one to Satan
for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the
day of the Lord Yeshua.
{5:6} Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast
leavens the whole lump? {5:7} Purge out the old yeast, that you may be
a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Messiah, our
Passover, has been sacrificed in our place. {5:8} Therefore let us
keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice
and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
{5:9} I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual
sinners; {5:10} yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this
world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for
then you would have to leave the world. {5:11} But as it is, I wrote
to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a
sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a
drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person. {5:12}
For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't
you judge those who are within? {5:13} But those who are outside, God
judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."[1]
