1 Corinthians 5:6-13

New King James Version

^6 (A)Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that ^(B)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Therefore ^[a]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed ^(C)Christ, our ^(D)Passover, was sacrificed ^[b]for us. ⁸ Therefore ^(E)let us keep the feast, ^(F)not with old leaven, nor ^(G)with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Immorality Must Be Judged

⁹ I wrote to you in my epistle ^(H)not to ^[c]keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go ^(I)out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to keep company ^(J)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—^(K)not even to eat with such a person.

¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore ^(L)“put away from yourselves the evil person.”
