1 Corinthians 5

Common English Bible CEB

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!

2 And you're proud of yourselves instead of being so upset that the one who did this thing is expelled from your community.

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.

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.

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.

6 Your bragging isn't good! Don't you know that a tiny grain of yeast makes a whole batch of dough rise?

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,

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.

9 I wrote to you in my earlier letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

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!

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.

12 What do I care about judging outsiders? Isn't it your job to judge insiders?

13 God will judge outsiders. Expel the evil one from among you!

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Your own members are aware that there is sexual sin going on among them. This kind of sin is not even heard of among unbelievers--a man is actually married to his father's wife.

2 You're being arrogant when you should have been more upset about this. If you had been upset, the man who did this would have been removed from among you.

3 Although I'm not physically present with you, I am with you in spirit. I have already judged the man who did this as though I were present with you.

4 When you have gathered together, I am with you in spirit. Then, in the name of our Lord Jesus, and with his power,

5 hand such a person over to Satan to destroy his corrupt nature so that his spiritual nature may be saved on the day of the Lord.

6 It's not good for you to brag. Don't you know that a little yeast spreads through the whole batch of dough?

7 Remove the old yeast [of sin] so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you don't actually have the yeast [of sin]. Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 So we must not celebrate our festival with the old yeast [of sin] or with the yeast of vice and wickedness. Instead, we must celebrate it with the bread of purity and truth that has no yeast.

9 In my letter to you I told you not to associate with people who continue to commit sexual sins.

10 I didn't tell you that you could not have any contact with unbelievers who commit sexual sins, are greedy, are dishonest, or worship false gods. If that were the case, you would have to leave this world.

11 Now, what I meant was that you should not associate with people who call themselves brothers or sisters in the Christian faith but live in sexual sin, are greedy, worship false gods, use abusive language, get drunk, or are dishonest. Don't eat with such people.

12 After all, do I have any business judging those who are outside [the Christian faith]? Isn't it your business to judge those who are inside?

13 God will judge those who are outside. Remove that wicked man from among you.
