1 Corinthians 5 — Berean Standard Bible

¹ {It is} actually reported [that there is] sexual immorality among you, and [of a kind] that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has [his] father’s wife. ² And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief [and] have removed from your [fellowship] the [man who] did this? ³ Although I am absent [ from you ] in body, I am present [with you ] in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the [one] [who] did this, just as if I were present. ⁴ [When] you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I [am with you] in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus, ⁵ hand this man {over} to Satan for [the] destruction of the flesh, so that [his] spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. ⁶ Your boasting [is] not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch [of dough]? ⁷ Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. ⁸ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with [the] old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with [the] unleavened [bread] of sincerity and of truth. ⁹ I wrote you in [my] letter not to associate with sexually immoral [people]. ¹⁰ I was not [including ] the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave [this] world. ¹¹ But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother [but] is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man {do} not even eat. ¹² What business of mine [is it] to judge those outside [the church ]? {Are} you not to judge those inside? ¹³ God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked [man] from among you.”
