   1) 1 Corinthians 5, 1 Corinthians 6, 1 Corinthians 7, 1 Corinthians 8   
      
   1 Corinthians 5   
      
   Judgment Against Immorality   
      
   1 (Lev 18:8; Dt 22:30) It is actually reported   
   that there is sexual immorality among you,   
   and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles,   
   that a man has his father's wife.   
   2 (1Co 5:13; 2Co 7:7-11) But you are arrogant. Instead you should   
   have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed   
   from among you.   
   3 (Col 2:5; 1Th 2:17) For indeed, though absent in body   
   but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present,   
   judged him who has done this deed,   
   4 (Jn 20:23; 2Co 13:3) in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.   
   When you are assembled, along with my spirit,   
   in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,   
   5 (1Ti 1:20; 1Co 1:8) deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,   
   so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.   
   6 (Gal 5:9; Jas 4:16) Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that   
   a little yeast leavens the whole batch?   
   7 (Ex 12:15; Mk 14:12) Therefore purge out the old yeast,   
   that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened.   
   For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.   
   8 (Ex 12:15; Dt 16:3) Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast,   
   nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness,   
   but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.   
   9 (Eph 5:11; 2Co 6:14) I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company   
   with sexually immoral people.   
   10 (1Co 10:27) Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world,   
   or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters,   
   since you would then need to go out of the world.   
   11 (2Th 3:6; Mt 18:17; Ro 16:17) But I have written to you not to keep   
   company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral,   
   or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard,   
   or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person.   
   12 (Mk 4:11) For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside?   
   Do you not judge those who are inside?   
   13 (Dt 13:5; 17:7) But God judges those who are outside. Therefore   
   "put away from among yourselves that wicked person."   
   (Dt 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7.)   
      
   [1] It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such   
   fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should   
   have his father's wife.   
   [2] And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath   
   done this deed might be taken away from among you.   
   [3] For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged   
   already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this   
   deed,   
   [4] In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and   
   my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,   
   [5] To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that   
   the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.   
   [6] Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth   
   the whole lump?   
   [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are   
   unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:   
   [8] Therefore 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.   
   [9] I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:   
   [10] Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the   
   covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out   
   of the world.   
   [11] But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is   
   called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer,   
   or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.   
   [12] For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye   
   judge them that are within?   
   [13] But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among   
   yourselves that wicked person.   
      
   1 Corinthians 6   
      
   Going to Law Before Unbelievers   
      
   1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to the law   
   before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?   
   2 (Mt 19:28; Da 7:22) Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?   
   If the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest   
   matters?   
   3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more the things   
   that pertain to this life?   
   4 (1Co 5:12) If then you have judgments dealing with matters of this life,   
   do you appoint as judges those who are least esteemed in the church?   
   5 (1Co 4:14; 15:34) I speak to your shame. Is it true that there   
   is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to judge   
   between his brothers?   
   6 But brother goes to the law against brother, and before unbelievers,   
   at that.   
   7 (Pr 20:22; 1Pe 3:9) Now therefore it is already an utter failure   
   for you that you go to law against one another. Why not rather be wronged?   
   Why not rather be defrauded?   
   8 (1Th 4:6) But you yourselves do wrong and defraud,   
   and do this to your brothers.   
   9 (1Co 15:50; 1Ti 1:9-10) Do you not know that the unrighteous   
   will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.   
   Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,   
   nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,   
   10 (1Co 5:11) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,   
   nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.   
   11 (1Co 1:2; Ac 22:16; Ro 8:30) Such were some of you. But you were washed,   
   you were sanctified, and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus   
   by the Spirit of our God.   
      
   [1] Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the   
   unjust, and not before the saints?   
   [2] Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world   
   shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?   
   [3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that   
   pertain to this life?   
   [4] If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to   
   judge who are least esteemed in the church.   
   [5] I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you?   
   no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?   
   [6] But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.   
   [7] Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law   
   one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather   
   suffer yourselves to be defrauded?   
   [8] Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.   
   [9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?   
   Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor   
   effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,   
   [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor   
   extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
