| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! -- | 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. |
| 2 and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work, | 2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this? |
| 3 for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: | 3 Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. |
| 4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, | 4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, |
| 5 to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. | 5 hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. |
| 6 Not good [is] your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven? | 6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? |
| 7 cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- Christ, | 7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. |
| 8 so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth. | 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. |
| 9 I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers -- | 9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- |
| 10 and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world -- | 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. |
| 11 and now, I did write to you not to keep company with [him], if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- with such a one not even to eat together; | 11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. |
| 12 for what have I also those without to judge? those within do ye not judge? | 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? |
| 13 and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves. | 13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." |
