| 1It 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. | 1It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife! |
| 2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this? | 2And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you. |
| 3Although 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. | 3Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you. |
| 4When 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, | 4In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too, |
| 5hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. | 5turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. |
| 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough? | 6Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you? |
| 7Get 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. | 7Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed. |
| 8Therefore 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. | 8So let's keep celebrating the festival, neither with old yeast nor with yeast that is evil and wicked, but with yeast-free bread that is both sincere and true. |
| 9I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. | 9I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral— |
| 10I 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. | 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. |
| 11But 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. | 11But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. You must even stop eating with someone like that. |
| 12What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? | 12After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren't you? |
| 13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” | 13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man." |
