Immorality Rebuked

(Leviticus 20:10–21; Proverbs 5:1–23)

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not even named(a)5:1 CT that exists not even or that is intolerable among pagans: A man has his father’s wife. Lev 18:8And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. Col 2:5When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ(b)5:4 Or In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are assembled; CT When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,(c)5:4 CT of our Lord Jesus hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord Jesus.(d)5:5 NA, SBL, and WH do not include Jesus.Psa 109:6; 1Ti 1:20

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough? 1Co 15:33; Gal 5:9; 2Ti 2:17Get rid of(e)5:7 TR Therefore get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed for us.(f)5:7 CT does not include for us. Isa 53:7Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy or(g)5:10 CT and swindlers or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.Mat 18:17; Rom 16:17; 2Th 3:14

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church ? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”(h)5:13 Literally Expel the evil from among you; Deuteronomy 13:5, 17:7, 19:19, 21:21, 22:21, 22:24, and 24:7
