MODERN LITERAL VERSION - 2026 Update

5:1       Fornication is heard literally to be among you^° (and such fornication which is not even named among the Gentiles) so-then for someone to be having his father’s wife.

5:2 And you^° are being arrogant, and did not rather mourn in-order-that he who did^* this work might be taken away out-of your^° midst.

5:3 For^* indeed, as being absent in the body, but being present^* in the spirit, I have already judged him thus (the one who worked out this thing), as though being present^*,

5:4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you^° and my spirit were gathered together, together-with the power of our Lord Jesus,

5:5 to give such a one to the Adversary ^*for utter-destruction of the flesh in-order-that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.      

5:6 Your^° boasting is not a good thing. Do you^° not know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch?

5:7 Cleanse^° out the old leaven in-order-that you^° may be a new batch, just-as you^° are unleavened. For^* Christ our Passover was also sacrificed on our behalf.

5:8 So-then we should celebrate a festival, not in old leaven, nor in leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.      

5:9 I wrote to you^° in the letter from me not to socialize yourselves together-with fornicators,

5:10 and certainly not meaning with the fornicators of this world or with the greedy ones or ravening ones or idolaters, otherwise, you^° are consequently^* obligated to go forth out-of the world.

5:11 But now, I wrote to you^° not to socialize yourselves together-with anyone if he is named a brother, who is either a fornicator or greedy one, or an idolater or a reviler, or a drunkard or a ravening one, not to even eat together-with such a person.

5:12 For^* what is it to me to also judge the ones who are outside? Are you^° not judging the ones who are inside?

5:13 Now God will be judging those outside, and you^° yourselves will take away the evil man from among you^°.
