1 Corinthians 5:3-8
5:3 For even though I am absent physically,
I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.
5:4 When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus,
and I am with you in spirit,
along with the power of our Lord Jesus,
5:5 turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved
in the day of the Lord.
5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough?
5:7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
5:8 So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.
