1Co 5:4in the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and [fn]I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

Your boasting^G2745 is not good^G2570. Do you not know^G6063 that a little^G3398 leaven^G2219 leavens^G2220 the whole^G3650 lump^G5445?

1Co 5:7

1Co 5:7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, also was sacrificed.

1Co 5:10I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

1Co 5:11

1Co 5:11But now I am writing to you not to associate [fn]with any so-called brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

1Co 5:12
