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.

Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! --

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 having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

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 indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who 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 Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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 up such a one to the Adversary 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 ?

Not good your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

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

cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- 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.

so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

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

I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers --

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!

and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth 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.

and now, I did write to you not to keep company with, if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- with such a one not even to eat together;

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 also those without to judge? those within do ye not judge?

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

and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.
