Sept. 9
1 Corinthians 5
1Co 5:1 It is actually
reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual
immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his
father's wife.
1Co 5:2 You are puffed
up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be
removed from among you.
1Co 5:3 For I most
certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have
already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this
thing.
1Co 5:4 In the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit,
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Co 5:5 are to deliver
such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit
may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1Co 5:6 Your boasting
is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole
lump?
1Co 5:7 Purge out the
old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened.
For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
1Co 5:8 Therefore let
us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of
malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and
truth.
1Co 5:9 I wrote to you
in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;
1Co 5:10 yet not at all
meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous
and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave
the world.
1Co 5:11 But as it is,
I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother
who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer,
or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.
1Co 5:12 For what have
I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge
those who are within?
1Co 5:13 But those who
are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among
yourselves."
