1 Corinthians 5

Authored by: American Standard Version
5:1
Ολως ακουεται εν υμιν πορνεια και τοιαυτη πορνεια ητις ουδε εν τοις εθνεσιν ωστε γυναικα τινα του πατρος εχειν
It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you hath his father’s wife.

5:2
και υμεις πεφυσιωμενοι εστε και ουχι μαλλον επενθησατε ινα αρθη εκ μεσου υμων ο το εργον τουτο πραξας
And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you.
5:3
Εγω μεν γαρ απων τω σωματι παρων δε τω πνευματι ηδη κεκρικα ως παρων τον ουτως τουτο κατεργασαμενον
For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,
5:4
εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου συναχθεντων υμων και του εμου πνευματος συν τη δυναμει του Κυριου ημων Ιησου
in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
5:5
παραδουναι τον τοιουτον τω Σατανα εις ολεθρον της σαρκος ινα το πνευμα σωθη εν τη ημερα του Κυριου
to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
5:6
Ου καλον το καυχημα υμων ουκ οιδατε οτι μικρα ζυμη ολον το φυραμα ζυμοι
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
5:7
εκκαθαρατε την παλαιαν ζυμην ινα ητε νεον φυραμα καθως εστε αζυμοι και γαρ το πασχα ημων ετυθη Χριστος
Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ:
5:8
ωστε εορταζωμεν μη εν ζυμη παλαια μηδε εν ζυμη κακιας και πονηριας αλλ εν αζυμοις ειλικρινειας και αληθειας
wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
5:9
Εγραψα υμιν εν τη επιστολη μη συναναμιγνυσθαι πορνοις
I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;
5:10
ου παντως τοις πορνοις του κοσμου τουτου η τοις πλεονεκταις και αρπαξιν η ειδωλολατραις επει ωφειλετε αρα εκ του κοσμου εξελθειν
not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:
5:11
νυν δε εγραψα υμιν μη συναναμιγνυσθαι εαν τις αδελφος ονομαζομενος η πορνος η πλεονεκτης η ειδωλολατρης η λοιδορος η μεθυσος η αρπαξ τω τοιουτω μηδε συνεσθιειν
but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.
5:12
Τι γαρ μοι τους εξω κρινειν ουχι τους εσω υμεις κρινετε
For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within?
5:13
τους δε εξω ο Θεος κρινει Εξαρατε τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων
But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.

Pride in tolerating wrongdoing

Paul is more disturbed that the church tolerated and even seemed proud of a case of serious sexual immorality than by the sin itself happening at all. Does communal complacency toward wrongdoing sometimes get treated as more corrosive than the indivi...
