1 Everyone has heard that there is sexual immorality among you. This is a type of immorality that isn't even heard of among the Gentiles—a man is having sex with his father's wife!
1
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife.
2 And you're proud of yourselves instead of being so upset that the one who did this thing is expelled from your community.
2
And you are arrogant! Should you not rather have mourned, so that he who has done this would have been removed from among you?
3 Though I'm absent physically, I'm present in the spirit and I've already judged the man who did this as if I were present.
3
For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present I have already pronounced judgment
4 When you meet together in the name of our Lord Jesus, I'll be present in spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus.
4
in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present with the power of our Lord Jesus,
5 At that time we need to hand this man over to Satan to destroy his human weakness so that his spirit might be saved on the day of the Lord.
5
you are to hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
6 Your bragging isn't good! Don't you know that a tiny grain of yeast makes a whole batch of dough rise?
6
Your boasting is not a good thing. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
7 Clean out the old yeast so you can be a new batch of dough, given that you're supposed to be unleavened bread. Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed,
7
Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch, as you really are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.
8 so let's celebrate the feast with the unleavened bread of honesty and truth, not with old yeast or with the yeast of evil and wickedness.
8
Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my earlier letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
9
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral persons—
10 But I wasn't talking about the sexually immoral people in the outside world by any means—or the greedy, or the swindlers, or people who worship false gods—otherwise, you would have to leave the world entirely!
10
not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world.
11 But now I'm writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls themselves "brother" or "sister" who is sexually immoral, greedy, someone who worships false gods, an abusive person, a drunk, or a swindler. Don't even eat with anyone like this.
11
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one.
12 What do I care about judging outsiders? Isn't it your job to judge insiders?
12
For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge?
13 God will judge outsiders. Expel the evil one from among you!
13
God will judge those outside. "Drive out the wicked person from among you."
