Immorality Defiles the Church
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s ⚓wife!
2⚓And you are puffed up, and have not rather ⚓mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3⚓For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.
4In the ⚓name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, ⚓with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5⚓deliver such a one to ⚓Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6⚓Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that ⚓a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
7Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed ⚓Christ, our ⚓Passover, was sacrificed for us.
8Therefore ⚓let us keep the feast, ⚓not with old leaven, nor ⚓with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Immorality Must Be Judged
9I wrote to you in my epistle ⚓not to keep company with sexually immoral people.
10Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go ⚓out of the world.
11But now I have written to you not to keep company ⚓with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—⚓not even to eat with such a person.
12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?
13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore ⚓“put away from yourselves the evil person.”

Txiav txim rau tus uas ua nkauj nraug
1Kuv hnov xov hais tias muaj kev ua nkauj nraug hauv nej cov. Txawm yog lwm haiv neeg los twb tsis muaj kev ua nkauj nraug li no, yog qhov uas ib tug tau deev nws txiv tus pojniam.
2Los nej tseem khav ntxhias. Twb tsim nyog nej nyuaj siab thiab muab tus uas ua txhaum ntawd ntiab tawm hauv nej cov mus los sas.
3Txawm yog kuv tsis nrog nej nyob los kuv lub siab yeej nrog nej nyob, thiab ib yam li kuv nrog nej nyob ntag kuv twb txiav txim rau tus uas ua txhaum li ntawd
4hauv peb tus Tswv Yexus lub npe lawm. Thaum nej tuaj sablaj ua ke thiab kuv lub siab yeej koom nrog nej ua ke thiab peb tus Tswv Yexus lub hwjchim nrog nraim,
5nej cia li muab tus ntawd cob rau Xatas⚓ ua kom nws lub cev nqaij tawv puam tsuaj kom nws tus ntsuj plig thiaj li dim rau hnub uas tus Tswv teem cia.
6Qhov uas nej khav theeb ntawd tsis zoo kiag li. Nej tsis paub lov? Ib nyuag qhov keeb xwb yeej ua rau ib phaj hmoov su tag huvsi.
7Cia li ntxuav tej keeb qub huvsi pov tseg kom nej thiaj li ua tau cov hmoov tshiab uas tsis xyaw keeb ib yam li nej cov uas yeej tsis xyaw keeb. Rau qhov Khetos uas yog peb tus menyuam yaj ua kevcai Hla Dhau twb raug muab xyeem lawm.
8Vim li no, cia peb ua qhov kevcai Hla Dhau no, tsis yog muab cov qub keeb uas yog kev txhaum thiab kev phem kev qias los ua, tiamsis muab cov ncuav tsis xyaw keeb uas yog lub siab dawb paug thiab txojkev tseeb los ua.
9Kuv twb sau tsab ntawv tuaj hais kom nej tsis txhob koom nrog cov neeg ua nkauj ua nraug ua ke.
10Tsis yog kuv hais txog txhua tus hauv ntiajteb uas ua nkauj ua nraug thiab ntshaw luag tug thiab txeeb luag tug thiab pe dab mlom, vim tias yog txwv tej no huvsi lawm ces nej yuav tsum tawm hauv lub ntiajteb no mus.
11Tiamsis nimno kuv sau hais kom nej tsis txhob mus koom nrog cov uas hu ua kwvtij los tseem ua nkauj nraug, ntshaw luag tug, pe dab mlom, thuam luag, qaug dej qaug cawv, lossis txeeb luag tug, txawm yog yuav noj yuav haus los tsis txhob koom kiag li.
12Kuv muaj cai qhovtwg uas yuav txiav txim rau cov uas tseem nyob sab nraud? Nej yuav tsum txiav txim rau cov uas nyob hauv nej pawg xwb los tsis yog?
13Vajtswv yog tus txiav txim rau cov uas nyob sab nraud. “Cia li rhuav tshem tus neeg phem tawm hauv nej cov mus.”⚓
