II.— CONDUCTAS INCORRECTAS DE ALGUNOS CORINTIOS (5—6)
Un grave caso de impureza
5 Por todas partes se comenta que uno de vosotros vive con su madrastra como si fuera su mujer. Un caso así de lujuria, ni siquiera entre los no cristianos suele darse. 2 Y vosotros seguís tan orondos, cuando deberíais vestir luto y no admitir en vuestra compañía a quien así está comportándose. 3 Por mi parte, aunque estoy corporalmente ausente, me considero presente en espíritu y como tal he tomado ya una decisión contra el que así se ha comportado. 4 Reunido, pues, en espíritu con vosotros, en el nombre y con la autoridad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, 5 he decidido dejar a ese individuo a merced de Satanás, a ver si queda destruida su condición pecadora y él, animado por el Espíritu, se salva en el día del Señor.
6 ¡La cosa no es como para que os sintáis orgullosos! ¿No sabéis que un poco de levadura hace fermentar toda la masa? 7 Eliminad todo resto de vieja levadura y sed masa nueva ya que sois panes pascuales, pues Cristo, que es nuestra víctima pascual, ya ha sido sacrificado. 8 Así que hagamos fiesta; pero no a base de la vieja levadura —me refiero a la maldad y a la perversidad—, sino con los panes pascuales de la sinceridad y de la verdad.
9 Os dije por carta que no tuvieseis trato con gente lujuriosa. 10 Es claro que no hablaba en plural, de todos los lujuriosos de este mundo, como tampoco de todos los avaros, ladrones o idólatras, pues en tal caso tendríais que vivir en otro mundo. 11 Lo que realmente quería deciros en la carta es que no tengáis trato con quien presume de cristiano y es lujurioso, avaro, idólatra, calumniador, borracho o ladrón. Con alguien así, ¡ni sentarse a la mesa! 12 No me corresponde a mí juzgar a quienes no forman parte de la Iglesia. Pero juzgar a quienes forman parte de ella, sí es cosa vuestra. 13 A los que están fuera ya los juzgará Dios. Así que eliminad el mal de entre vosotros.
1 Corinthians 5
New International Version
Dealing With a Case of Incest
5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife.(A) 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning(B) and have put out of your fellowship(C) the man who has been doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.(D) As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus(E) on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over(F) to Satan(G) for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.(H)
6 Your boasting is not good.(I) Don’t you know that a little yeast(J) leavens the whole batch of dough?(K) 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.(L) 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread(M) of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate(N) with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world(O) who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c](P) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater(Q) or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.(R)
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside(S) the church? Are you not to judge those inside?(T) 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[d](U)

Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church
5 It is actually reported that there is (A)sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, (B)for a man has his father's wife. 2 And (C)you are arrogant! Ought you (D)not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
3 For though (E)absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4 When you are assembled (F)in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are (G)to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so (H)that his spirit may be saved (I)in the day of the Lord.[a]
6 (J)Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that (K)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, (L)not with the old leaven, (M)the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter (N)not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 (O)not at all meaning (P)the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, (Q)since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone (R)who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging (S)outsiders? (T)Is it not those inside the church[b] whom you are to judge? 13 God judges[c] those outside. (U)“Purge the evil person from among you.”
