1. I don't want to believe what I am hearing�that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a bad kind of sexual sin that even those who have never known God don't allow it. People say that a man there has his father's wife.
|
1. It is reported G191 commonly G3654 that there is fornication G4202 among G1722 you G5213 , and G2532 such G5108 fornication G4202 as G3748 is not so much as G3761 named G3687 among G1722 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , that G5620 one G5100 should have G2192 his father G3962 's wife G1135 .
|
|
2. And still you are proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with sadness. And the man who committed that sin should be put out of your group.
|
2. And G2532 ye G5210 are G2075 puffed up G5448 , and G2532 have not G3780 rather G3123 mourned G3996 , that G2443 he that hath done G4160 this G5124 deed G2041 might be taken away G1808 from G1537 among G3319 you G5216 .
|
|
3. I cannot be there with you in person, but I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the man who did this. I judged him the same as I would if I were really there.
|
3. For G1063 I G1473 verily G3303 , as G5613 absent G548 in body G4983 , but G1161 present G3918 in spirit G4151 , have judged G2919 already G2235 , as though G5613 I were present G3918 , concerning him that hath so done G2716 G3779 this deed G5124 .
|
|
4. Come together in the name of our Lord Jesus. I will be with you in spirit, and you will have the power of our Lord Jesus with you.
|
4. In G1722 the G3588 name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , when ye G5216 are gathered together G4863 , and G2532 my G1699 spirit G4151 , with G4862 the G3588 power G1411 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 ,
|
|
5. Then turn this man over to Satan. His sinful self has to be destroyed so that his spirit will be saved on the day when the Lord comes again.
|
5. To deliver G3860 such a one G5108 unto Satan G4567 for G1519 the destruction G3639 of the G3588 flesh G4561 , that G2443 the G3588 spirit G4151 may be saved G4982 in G1722 the G3588 day G2250 of the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 .

6. Your proud talk is not good. You know the saying, "Just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise."
|
6. Your G5216 glorying G2745 is not G3756 good G2570 . Know G1492 ye not G3756 that G3754 a little G3398 leaven G2219 leaveneth G2220 the G3588 whole G3650 lump G5445 ?
|
|
7. Take out all the old yeast, so that you will be a new batch of dough. You really are bread without yeast�Passover bread. Yes, Christ our Passover Lamb has already been killed.
|
7. Purge out G1571 therefore G3767 the G3588 old G3820 leaven G2219 , that G2443 ye may be G5600 a new G3501 lump G5445 , as G2531 ye are G2075 unleavened G106 . For G1063 even G2532 Christ G5547 our G2257 passover G3957 is sacrificed G2380 for G5228 us G2257 :
|
|
8. So let us eat our Passover meal, but not with the bread that has the old yeast, the yeast of sin and wrongdoing. But let us eat the bread that has no yeast. This is the bread of goodness and truth.
|
8. Therefore G5620 let us keep the feast G1858 , not G3361 with G1722 old G3820 leaven G2219 , neither G3366 with G1722 the leaven G2219 of malice G2549 and G2532 wickedness G4189 ; but G235 with G1722 the unleavened G106 bread of sincerity G1505 and G2532 truth G225 .
|
|
9. I wrote to you in my letter that you should not associate with people who sin sexually.
|
9. I wrote G1125 unto you G5213 in G1722 an epistle G1992 not G3361 to company with G4874 fornicators G4205 :
|
|
10. But I did not mean the people of this world. You would have to leave the world to get away from all the people who sin sexually, or who are greedy and cheat each other, or who worship idols.
|
10. Yet G2532 not G3756 altogether G3843 the G3588 fornicators G4205 of this G5127 world G2889 , or G2228 with the G3588 covetous G4123 , or G2228 extortioners G727 , or G2228 with idolaters G1496 ; for G1893 then G686 must ye needs G3784 go G1831 out of G1537 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
11. I meant you must not associate with people who claim to be believers but continue to live in sin. Don't even eat with a brother or sister who sins sexually, is greedy, worships idols, abuses others with insults, gets drunk, or cheats people.
|
11. But G1161 now G3570 I have written G1125 unto you G5213 not G3361 to keep company G4874 , if G1437 any man G5100 that is called G3687 a brother G80 be a fornicator G4205 , or G2228 covetous G4123 , or G2228 an idolater G1496 , or G2228 a railer G3060 , or G2228 a drunkard G3183 , or G2228 an extortioner G727 ; with such a one G5108 no not G3366 to eat G4906 .
|
|
12. It is not my business to judge those who are not part of the group of believers. God will judge them, but you must judge those who are part of your group. The Scriptures say, "Make the evil person leave your group."
|
12. For G1063 what have I to do G5101 G3427 to judge G2919 them also that are without G1854 G2532 ? do not G3780 ye G5210 judge G2919 them that are within G2080 ?
