1 Corinthians 5:1-13 MEV

[1] It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father's wife. [2] But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you. [3] For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed, [4] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, [5] deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus. [6] Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch? [7] Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us. [8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. [9] I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with sexually immoral people. [10] Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. [11] But I have written to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person. [12] For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? [13] But God judges those who are outside. Therefore "put away from among yourselves that wicked person."
