New Testament

1 Corinthians 5:1-8 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father’s wife.

2. But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you.

3. For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed,

4. in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5. deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

6. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch?

7. Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.

8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
