Sexual Immorality in the Church

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has ahis father’s wife. And 1you ahave become puffed up and 2have not bmourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be cremoved from your midst.

For I, on my part, though aabsent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present: ain the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and 1I with you in spirit, bwith the power of our Lord Jesus, adeliver such a one to bSatan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in cthe day of 1the Lord.

aYour boasting is not good. bDo you not know that ca little leaven leavens the whole lump? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ, our aPassover lamb, also was sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, anot with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

I wrote you in my letter anot to associate with sexually immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with aidolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate 1with any so-called abrother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or ban idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging aoutsiders? bAre you not to judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside, God will judge. aREMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
