5:1  It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

5:2  You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

5:3  For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

5:4  In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5:5  {I have decided} to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

5:6  Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump {of dough?}

5:7  Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are {in fact} unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

5:8  Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

5:9  I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

5:10  I {did} not at all {mean} with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

5:11  But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

5:12  For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within {the church?}

5:13  But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
