Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church

1 It is actually reported that there is *2 Cor. 12:21sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, *Lev. 18:8;Deut. 22:30;27:20for a man has his father’s wife. 2 And *See ch. 4:6you are arrogant! Ought you *[2 Cor. 7:7-10]not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

3 For though *Col. 2:5;[1 Thess. 2:17]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. 4 When you are assembled *2 Thess. 3:6;[Matt. 16:19;18:18;John 20:23;2 Cor. 13:3,10;1 Tim. 5:20]in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are *1 Tim. 1:20;[Job 2:6;Acts 26:18] to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so *[Prov. 23:14] that his spirit may be saved *See ch. 1:8in the day of the Lord.*5:5 Some manuscripts add Jesus

6 *James 4:16;[ver. 2] Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that *Gal. 5:9;[ch. 15:33]a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, *Ex. 12:15;Deut. 16:3not with the old leaven, *[Matt. 16:6,12;Mark 8:15;Luke 12:1]the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote to you in my letter *[2 Cor. 6:14;Eph. 5:11;2 Thess. 3:6,14]not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 *[ch. 10:27] not at all meaning *Eph. 5:5;Col. 3:5;[ch. 6:9] the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, *[John 17:15]since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone *2 Thess. 3:6who 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. 12 For what have I to do with judging *See Mark 4:11outsiders? *[ch. 6:1-4]Is it not those inside the church*5:12 Greek those inside whom you are to judge? 13 God judges*5:13 Or will judge those outside. *[Deut. 13:5;17:7,12;21:21;22:21,22,24;Judg. 20:13]"Purge the evil person from among you."
