International Standard Version

New Living Translation

1It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!

1I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother.

2And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.

2You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.

3Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

3Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit. And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man

4In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too,

4in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church. I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus.

5turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

5Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

6Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?

6Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?

7Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough, since you are to be free from yeast. For the Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

7Get rid of the old “yeast” by removing this wicked person from among you. Then you will be like a fresh batch of dough made without yeast, which is what you really are. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.

8So let's keep celebrating the festival, neither with old yeast nor with yeast that is evil and wicked, but with yeast-free bread that is both sincere and true.

8So let us celebrate the festival, not with the old bread of wickedness and evil, but with the new bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote to you in my letter to stop associating with people who are sexually immoral—

9When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.

10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

10But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that.

11But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. You must even stop eating with someone like that.

11I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

12After all, is it my business to judge outsiders? You are to judge those who are in the community, aren't you?

12It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.

13God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man."

13God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”
