1 It is actually reported that there is sexual sin among you. I'm told that a man is living with his father's wife and is having sex with her. Even people who do not know God don't commit that sin.
2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you be filled with sadness instead? Shouldn't you have put the man who did that out of your church?
3 Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did that, just as if I were there.
4 When you come together in the name of our Lord Jesus, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.
5 When you come together like that, hand that man over to Satan. Then his sinful nature will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.
6 Your bragging is not good. It is like yeast. Don't you know that just a little yeast works its way through the whole batch of dough?
