1 CORINTHIANS Correction With Confidence Because The
Faithfulness Of God Toward His Saints!
Corinthians 5:1–8 (ESV) — 1 It is
actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that
pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. 2
And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this
be removed from among you. 3 For
though 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 in the name of
the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to deliver this man to Satan
for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of
the Lord. 6 Your boasting
is not good. Do you not know that 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, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice
and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained

listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be

impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear
throughout the time of your exile, 18
knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your
forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of
Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made
manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the
dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
