1 Corinthians 5:1-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I have heard terrible things about some of you. In fact, you are behaving worse than the Gentiles. A man is even sleeping with his own stepmother.

2. You are proud, when you ought to feel bad enough to chase away anyone who acts like that.

5. You must then hand that man over to Satan. His body will be destroyed, but his spirit will be saved when the Lord Jesus returns.

6. Stop being proud! Don't you know how a little yeast can spread through the whole batch of dough?

7. Get rid of the old yeast! Then you will be like fresh bread made without yeast, and that is what you are. Our Passover lamb is Christ, who has already been sacrificed.

8. So don't celebrate the festival by being evil and sinful, which is like serving bread made with yeast. Be pure and truthful and celebrate by using bread made without yeast.

9. In my other letter I told you not to have anything to do with immoral people.

10. But I wasn't talking about the people of this world. You would have to leave this world to get away from everyone who is immoral or greedy or who cheats or worships idols.
