is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not condoned among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been filled with grief, so that the man who has done this might be removed from among you. 3 Even though I am not present in person, I am present in spirit, and I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this deed as though I were present. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, along with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 So clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, since you truly are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore, let us observe the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or to the greedy and swindlers, or to idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
12 For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Drive out the evil person from among you”.
