Chapter 5
I Co Common 5:1  It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: a man has his father’s wife.
I Co Common 5:2  And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to have mourned? Let the one who has done this be removed from your midst.
I Co Common 5:3  For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and have already passed judgment on the one who has committed this, as if I were present.
I Co Common 5:4  In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
I Co Common 5:5  you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
I Co Common 5:6  Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
I Co Common 5:7  Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
I Co Common 5:8  Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
I Co Common 5:9  I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
I Co Common 5:10  not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
I Co Common 5:11  But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
I Co Common 5:12  For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
I Co Common 5:13  God judges those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
