The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Corinthians 05
1 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 You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn
instead, that he who had done this deed
might be removed from among you.
3 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 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
when you are gathered together with my
spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
5 you are to deliver such a one to Satan
for the destruction of the flesh, that the
spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord
Jesus.
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you
know that a little yeast leavens the whole
lump?
7 Purge outthe 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 Therefore let’s 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 to you in my letter to have no
company with sexual sinners;
10 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 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 For what do I have to do with also
judging those who are outside? Don’t you
judge those who are within?
13 But those who are outside, God judges.
“Put away the wicked man from among
yourselves.”*
