Dual Panel1IT is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and immorality of a kind that even pagans condemna man has apparently taken his father's wife!
2Are you still proud of yourselves? Shouldn't you be overwhelmed with sorrow? The man who has done such a thing should certainly be expelled from your fellowship!
3I know I am not with you physically but I am with you in spirit, and I assure you as though I were actually with you that I have already pronounced judgment
4in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done this thing. As one present in spirit when you are assembled, I say by the power of the Lord Jesus
5that the man should be left to the mercy of Satan so that while his body will experience the destructive powers of sin his spirit may yet be saved in the day of the Lord.
6Your pride in yourselves is lamentably out of place. Don't you know how a little yeast can permeate the whole lump?
7Clear out every bit of the old yeast that you may be new unleavened bread! We Christians have had a Passover lamb sacrificed for usnone other than Christ himself!
8So let us "keep the feast" with no trace of the yeast of the old life, nor the yeast of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of unadulterated truth!
9In my previous letter, I said, "Don't mix with the immoral."
10I didn't mean, of course, that you were to have no contact at all with the immoral of this world, nor with any cheats or thieves or idolatersfor that would mean going out of the world altogether!
11But in this letter I tell you not to associate with any professing Christian who is known to be an impure roan or a swindler, an idolater, a man with a foul tongue, a drunkard or a thief. My instruction is: "Don't even eat with such a man."
12Those outside the church it is not my business to judge. But surely it is your business to judge those who are inside the church
13God alone can judge those who are outside. It is your plain duty to expel this wicked man from your fellowship!
