1 ¶ Among you one hears of immorality, and of a kind of immorality that does not even occur among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

2 And you are still puffed up. Shouldn’t you rather have been filled with sorrow? and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?

3 For I, absent in body though present in spirit, have already passed judgement on the one who did this, as though I were present,

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, you being duly assembled together, and I with you in spirit, by the power of the Lord Jesus,

5 To deliver such a man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you realize that a little yeast leavens the entire lump?

7 ¶ Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed for us:

8 Therefore let us celebrate, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 ¶ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with those who are sexually immoral:

10 Not meaning that you must altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters; for in that case you would have to leave the world.

11 But I am now writing you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler; do not even eat with such a man.

12 What business is it of mine to judge outsiders? are you not to judge those who are inside the congregation?

13 God will judge those who are without. Therefore expel that wicked man from your congregation.
