1. Immorality Rebuked

   (Leviticus 20:10–21; Proverbs 5:1–23)

2. 1BSBIt 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.KJVKJV: 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.
3. 2BSBAnd you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?KJVKJV: And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
4. 3BSBAlthough 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.KJVKJV: 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,
5. 4BSBWhen 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,KJVKJV: In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
6. 5BSBhand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.KJVKJV: 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.
7. 6BSBYour boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?KJVKJV: Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
8. 7BSBGet 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.KJVKJV: 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:
9. 8BSBTherefore 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.KJVKJV: 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.

10. Expel the Immoral Brother

11. 9BSBI wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.KJVKJV: I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
12. 10BSBI 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.KJVKJV: 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.
13. 11BSBBut 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.KJVKJV: 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.
14. 12BSBWhat business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?KJVKJV: For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
15. 13BSBGod will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”KJVKJV: But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
