Church Discipline for Immorality

1 Corinthians 5:1-13
1It is actually reported among you that there is sexual sin, and such sexual sin as is not found even among the Gentiles, that a certain man has his father's wife. 2And you are inflated with pride, and ought rather to have mourned, so that the one who has done this deed might be removed from your midst. 3For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and I have already judged, as though present, the one who has done this. 4When you and my spirit are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5To hand such a one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Clean out the old leaven, so that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us keep the festival not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. 10Not at all with the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and rapacious, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or rapacious—not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those inside whom you judge? 13God judges those outside. Expel the evil person from among you.
