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! 1It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles, so that someone is cohabiting with his father's wife.
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. 2And you are proud! Shouldn't you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?
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. 3For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.
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, 4When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus,
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. 5turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
6Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you? 6Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough?
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. 7Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough--you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
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.8So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral— 9I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
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. 10In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.
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. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
12After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren't you? 12For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside?
13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man." 13But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
