1 It 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!

2 And 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.

3 Even 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.

4 When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus and my spirit and the power of our Lord Jesus are present,

5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?

7 Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 So let us keep celebrating the festival, not with the old yeast or with the yeast of vice and wickedness, but with the bread of purity and truth that has no yeast.

9 I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral—

10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or greedy people, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

11 But 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. With such a person you must even stop eating.

12 After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are inside, aren't you?

13 God will judge outsiders. "Put that wicked man away from you."
