| # Chapter 5
#### 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 assuredly, 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 extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.
#### 11 | But as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. 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.'
