1 Corinthians 5:6-13

6Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough?

7Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

10In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.

11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

12For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside?

13But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
