Immorality in the Church

5Now, it is actually being said that there is sexual immorality among you so terrible that not even the heathen would be guilty of it. I am told that a man is sleeping with his stepmother!G191G3654G4202G1722G5213G2532G5108G4202G3748G3687G3761G3687G1722G1484G5620G5100G2192G3962G1135 2How, then, can you be proud? On the contrary, you should be filled with sadness, and the man who has done such a thing should be expelled from your fellowship.G2532G5210G2075G5448G2532G3996G3780G3123G3996G2443G4160G5124G2041G1808G1537G3319G5216 3And even though I am far away from you in body, still I am there with you in spirit; and as though I were there with you, I have in the name of our Lord Jesus already passed judgment on the man who has done this terrible thing.G1063G1473G3303G5613G548G4983G1161G3918G4151G2919G2235G5613G3918G2716G3779G2716G5124 4As you meet together, and I meet with you in my spirit, by the power of our Lord Jesus present with us,G1722G3686G2257G2962G2424G5547G5216G4863G2532G1699G4151G4862G1411G2257G2962G2424G5547 5you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.G3860G5108G4567G1519G3639G4561G2443G4151G4982G1722G2250G2962G2424 6It is not right for you to be proud! You know the saying, "A little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise."G5216G2745G3756G2570G1492G3756G3754G3398G2219G2220G3650G5445 7You must remove the old yeast of sin so that you will be entirely pure. Then you will be like a new batch of dough without any yeast, as indeed I know you actually are. For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.G1571G3767G3820G2219G2443G5600G3501G5445G2531G2075G106G1063G2532G5547G2257G3957G2380G5228G2257 8Let us celebrate our Passover, then, not with bread having the old yeast of sin and wickedness, but with the bread that has no yeast, the bread of purity and truth.G5620G1858G3361G1722G3820G2219G3366G1722G2219G2549G2532G4189G235G1722G106G1505G2532G225 9In the letter that I wrote you I told you not to associate with immoral people.G1125G5213G1722G1992G3361G4874G4205 10Now I did not mean pagans who are immoral or greedy or are thieves, or who worship idols. To avoid them you would have to get out of the world completely.G2532G3756G3843G4205G5127G2889G2228G4123G2228G727G2228G1496G1893G686G3784G1831G1537G2889 11What I meant was that you should not associate with a person who calls himself a believer but is immoral or greedy or worships idols or is a slanderer or a drunkard or a thief. Don't even sit down to eat with such a person.G1161G3570G1125G5213G3361G4874G1437G5100G3687G80G2228G4205G2228G4123G2228G1496G2228G3060G2228G3183G2228G727G5108G3366G4906 12After all, it is none of my business to judge outsiders. God will judge them. But should you not judge the members of your own fellowship?G1063G5101G3427G2919G2532G1854G2919G3780G5210G2919G2080 13As the scripture says, "Remove the evil person from your group."G1161G1854G2316G2919G2532G1808G1537G5216G846G4190
