NIV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
New International VersionInternational Standard Version
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with 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 gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing 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.
3For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.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.
4So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,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. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens 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 yeast, so 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 Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and 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 to 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—
10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, 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 to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.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 is it of mine 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 person from among you."13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man."
