Immorality
Rebuked |
|
|
 |
1 Corinthians 5:1
|
|
It is actually reported that there is immorality
among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles,
that someone has his father's wife. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:2
|
|
You have become arrogant and have not mourned
instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:3
|
|
For I, on my part, though absent in body but
present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though
I were present. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:4
|
|
In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are
assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:5
|
|
I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan
for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of
the Lord Jesus. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:6
|
|
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that
a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:7
|
|
Clean out the old leaven so that you may be
a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has
been sacrificed. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:8
|
|
Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with
old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:9
|
|
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with
immoral people; |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:10
|
|
I did not at all mean with the immoral people
of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then
you would have to go out of the world. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:11
|
|
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate
with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater,
or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:12
|
|
For what have I to do with judging outsiders?
Do you not judge those who are within the church? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 5:13
|
|
But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE
THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES. |
