1 I t is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, impurity of a sort that is condemned and does not occur even among the heathen; for a man has father’s wife.

It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you hath his father's wife.

2 A nd you are proud and arrogant! And you ought rather to mourn (bow in sorrow and in shame) until the person who has done this thing is removed from your fellowship and your midst!

And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 A s for my attitude, though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and I have already decided and passed judgment, as if actually present,

For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,

4 I n the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the man who has committed such a deed. When you and my own spirit are met together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5 Y ou are to deliver this man over to Satan for physical discipline, that spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 y our boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven will ferment the whole lump ?

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 P urge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated, for Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ:

8 T herefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity and truth.

wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with unchaste (impure) people—

I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;

10 N ot altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether!

not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:

11 B ut now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, or is a person with a foul tongue, or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. you must not so much as eat with such a person.

but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.

12 W hat of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment ?

For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within?

13 G od alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you.

But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.
