5It is actually reported that there is sexual sin among you. I’m told that a man is living with his father’s wife and is having sex with her. Even people who do not know God don’t commit that sin. ²And you are proud! Shouldn’t you be filled with sadness instead? Shouldn’t you have put the man who did that out of your church?

³Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did that, just as if I were there.

⁴When you come together in the name of our Lord Jesus, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you. ⁵When you come together like that, hand that man over to Satan. Then his sinful nature will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

⁶Your bragging is not good. It is like yeast. Don’t you know that just a little yeast works its way through the whole batch of dough? ⁷Get rid of the old yeast. Be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are, because Christ has been offered up for us. He is our Passover lamb.

⁸So let us keep the Feast, but not with the old yeast. I’m talking about yeast that is full of hatred and evil. Let us keep the Feast with bread made without yeast. Let us do it with bread that is honest and true.
