It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

2 A nd ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

You are puffed up, and didn’t rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

3 F or I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, him that has so done this deed.

For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

4 I n the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

6 Y our glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ, our passover, is sacrificed for us;

Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

8 t herefore let us celebrate the feast, not in the old leaven, neither in the leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

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

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to associate with fornicators,

I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

10 y et not altogether with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or extortioners or with idolaters, for then ye would need to go out of the world.

yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

11 B ut now I have written unto you not to associate with anyone calling himself a brother if he is a fornicator or covetous or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such a one do not even eat.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

12 F or why shall I judge those that are without? do ye not judge those that are within?

For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

13 B ut those that are without, God shall judge. Therefore, put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”
