Immorality Defiles the Church

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even1 named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s awife!  
2 aAnd you are1 puffed up, and have not rather bmourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.  
3 aFor I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.  
4 In the aname of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, bwith the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,  
5 adeliver such a one to bSatan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord1 Jesus.  
6 aYour glorying is not good. Do you not know that ba little leaven leavens the whole lump?  
7 Therefore1 purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed aChrist, our bPassover, was sacrificed for us.  
8 Therefore alet us keep the feast, bnot with old leaven, nor cwith the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
