A Moral Problem in the Church
5 1People are really saying that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a
bad kind of sexual sin that it does not happen even among those people that don't
know God. People say that a man there has his father's wife. 2And still you are
proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with sadness. And the man that
did that sin should be put out of your group. 3My body is not there with you, but
I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the man who did that sin. I judged
him the same as I would if I were really there. 4Come together in the name of our
Lord Jesus. I will be with you in spirit, and you will have the power of our Lord
Jesus with you. 5Then give this man to Satan (the Devil), so that his sinful self*will
be destroyed. Then his spirit can be saved on the day of the Lord.

6Your proud boasting is not good. You know the saying, "Just a little yeast* makes
the whole batch of dough rise." 7Take out all the old yeast (sin), so that you will
be a new batch of dough. You really are [Passover] bread* without yeast. Yes, Christ,
our Passover lamb,* has [already] been killed. 8So let us eat our Passover meal,
but not with [the bread that has] the old yeast. That old yeast is the yeast of
sin and wrong doing. But let us eat the bread that has no yeast. This is the bread
of goodness and truth.

9I wrote to you in my letter that you should not associate with people that sin
sexually. 10But I did not mean that you should not associate with the sinful people
of this world. Those people of the world do sin sexually, or they are selfish and
cheat each other, or they worship idols (false gods). To get away from those people
you would have to leave this world. 11I am writing to tell you that the person you
must not associate with is this: any person that calls himself a brother in Christ
but sins sexually, or is selfish, or worships idols, or talks bad to people, or
gets drunk, or cheats people. Don't even eat with a person like that. 12-13It is
not my business to judge those people that are not part of the church (group of
believers). God will judge those people. But you must judge the people that are
part of the church. The Scripture* says, "Take the evil person out of your group."*
Footnotes: sinful self Or, "body." Literally, "flesh." yeast Used here as a symbol
of evil or bad influence. Passover bread The special bread without yeast that the
Jews ate at their Passover meal. Paul means that Christians are free from sin like
the Passover bread was free from yeast. Passover lamb Jesus was a sacrifice for
his people, like a lamb killed for the Jewish Passover Feast. Scriptures Holy Writings--the
Old Testament. "Take ... group" Quote from Deut. 22:21, 24.
