Immorality Rebuked

(Leviticus 20:10–21; Proverbs 5:1–23)

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not even named(a)5:1 CT that exists not even or that is intolerable among pagans: A man has his father’s wife. And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ(b)5:4 Or In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are assembled; CT When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,(c)5:4 CT of our Lord Jesus hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord Jesus.(d)5:5 NA, SBL, and WH do not include Jesus.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of(e)5:7 TR Therefore get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed for us.(f)5:7 CT does not include for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy or(g)5:10 CT and swindlers or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”(h)5:13 Literally Expel the evil from among you; Deuteronomy 13:5, 17:7, 19:19, 21:21, 22:21, 22:24, and 24:7
