1 Corinthians 5:9-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Do Not Even Associate With So-Called Brothers Who Continue To Disobey God
9 I wrote you in the letter[a] not to associate-with[b] sexually-immoral ones— 10 not at-all meaning with the sexually-immoral ones of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers[c], or with idolaters, because then you would have to go out of the world! 11 But now[d], I wrote[e] to you not to associate-with them if anyone being named a brother should be a sexually-immoral one, or a greedy one, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler— not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what do I have to do with judging the ones outside? Are you not judging the ones inside? 13 But God judges[f] the ones outside. Remove[g] the evil one from-among you yourselves.
