1 Corinthians 5:1-8

1It is actually reported that among you there is sexual immorality, and such immorality as is not even among the pagans—that someone has his father’s wife.

2And you are puffed up! Shouldn’t you have mourned instead, so that the one who did this deed might be removed from among you?

3For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit—I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this thing, as though I were present.

4When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Yeshua, I am with you in spirit. With the power of our Lord Yeshua,

5you are to turn such a fellow over to satan for the destruction of his fleshly nature, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua.

6Your boasting is no good. Don’t you know that a little hametz leavens the whole batch of dough?

7Get rid of the old hametz, so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened—for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.

8Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth.
