Listen to this chapter • 2:17

[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.

[2] You are puffed up, and didn’t rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

[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.

[4] In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

[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.

[6] Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

[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.

[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.

[9] I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

[10] yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

[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 extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

[12] For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

[13] But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”
