1 Corinthians, 5

1. It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

1. You have become news with a case of immorality, and such a case that is not even found among pagans. Yes, one of you has taken as wife his own stepmother.

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

2. And you feel proud! Should you not be in mourning instead and expel the one who did such a thing.

3. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,

3. For my part, although I am physically absent, my spirit is with you and, as if present, I have already passed sentence on the man who committed such a sin.

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

4. Let us meet together, you and my spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus and with his power,

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

5. you shall deliver him to Satan, so that he may lose everything and his life, but his spirit be saved in the day of Judgment.

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

6. This is not the time to praise yourselves. Do you not know that a little yeast makes the whole mass of dough rise?

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:

7. Throw out, then, the old yeast and be new dough. If Christ became our Passover, you should be unleavened bread.

8. Therefore 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.

8. Let us celebrate, therefore, the Passover, no longer with old yeast, which is sin and perversity; let us have unleavened bread, that is purity and sincerity.

9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

9. In my last letter I instructed you not to associate with immoral people.

10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

10. I did not mean, of course, those who do not belong to the church and who are immoral, exploiters, embezzlers or worshipers of idols. Otherwise you would have to leave this world.

11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

11. What I really meant was to avoid and not to mingle with anyone who, bearing the name of brother or sister, becomes immoral, exploiter, gossip, drunkard, embezzler. In which case you should not even eat with them.

12. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

12. Why should I judge outsiders? But you, are you not to judge those who are inside?

13. But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

13. Let God judge those outside, but as for you, drive out the wicked person from among you.

Fusnote:

5:1-2 - Paul denounces a case of immorality in the church at Corinth, where a man was living with his father's wife. Tolerance of sin within the church is unacceptable, and correction is necessary to maintain the purity of the community (see also Leviticus 18:8 and Matthew 18:15-17).

5:3-5 - Paul instructs the excommunication of the sinner, handing him over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord. This highlights the seriousness of sin and the need for church discipline (see also 1 Timothy 1:20 and Matthew 7:5).

5:6-8 - Paul warns that a little leaven leavens the whole lump, symbolizing how sin can spread and corrupt a community. He exhorts Christians to live like unleavened bread, maintaining their holiness (see also Galatians 5:9 and 1 Peter 1:13-16).

5:9-13 - Paul clarifies that excommunication should apply to the immoral within the church, but not to those outside the faith, for the church's responsibility is to its members. God's judgment on those outside is a reality (see also Matthew 7:1-2 and Luke 6:37).
