1 Coríntios 5

Immoral Church Members

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality  * 5:1 1Th 4:3 among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated  * 5:1 Other mss read named among the Gentiles  * 5:1 Gl 1:16  — a man is sleeping with his father’s wife.  * 5:1 Lv 18:8; Dt 22:30; 27:202 And you are arrogant! Shouldn’t you be filled with grief  * 5:2 Lk 6:25 and remove from your congregation the one who did this? 3 Even though I am absent in the body, I am present in spirit.  * 5:3 Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17 As one who is present with you in this way, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who has been doing such a thing. 4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 hand that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,  * 5:5 1Jn 5:16 so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.  * 5:5 Mt 25:13; Ac 2:20; Php 1:6

6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little leaven  * 5:6 Or yeast, also in vv. 7,8,* 5:6 Lk 13:21; Gl 5:9 leavens the whole batch of dough?  * 5:6–8 Lk 13:217 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new unleavened batch, as indeed you are. For Christ our Passover lamb  * 5:7 Ex 12 has been sacrificed.  * 5:7 Other mss add for us8 Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old leaven or with the leaven of malice and evil,  * 5:8 Mk 7:22; Rm 1:29 but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Church Discipline

9 I wrote to you in a letter not to associate  * 5:9 2Th 3:14 with sexually immoral people.  * 5:9 1Co 6:9; Eph 5:5; 1Tm 1:10; Heb 12:16; 13:4; Rv 21:8; 22:1510 I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy  * 5:10 Eph 5:5 and swindlers  * 5:10 Lk 18:11 or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.  * 5:10 Jn 17:611 But actually, I wrote  * 5:11 Or But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister  * 5:11 2Th 3:6 and is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard  * 5:11 1Co 6:10 or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 12 For what business is it of mine to judge  * 5:12 Lk 6:37 outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? 13 God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you.* 5:13 Dt 17:7,* 5:13 Dt 17:7
