5:1  It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife.

5:2  And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?

5:3  Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

5:4  When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

5:5  hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.

5:6  Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?

5:7  Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

5:8  Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

5:9  I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—

5:10  not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

5:11  But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

5:12  What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

5:13  God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
