Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.1It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!
2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?2And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.
3Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.3Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.
4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,4In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too,
5hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.5turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.
6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?6Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?
7Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.7Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed.
8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.8So let's keep celebrating the festival, neither with old yeast nor with yeast that is evil and wicked, but with yeast-free bread that is both sincere and true.
9I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.9I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral—
10I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
11But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.11But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. You must even stop eating with someone like that.
12What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?12After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren't you?
13God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man."
