1 Corinthians 5
ISV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
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! 1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife.
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. 2And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
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. 3For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing.
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, 4When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
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. 5you 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.
6Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you? 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
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. 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
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.8Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral— 9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—
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. 10not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.
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. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
12After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren't you? 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man." 13God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
