1 Corinthians 5

1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father’s wife.

1 我听说在你们当中竟有人与继母乱伦。这种淫乱的事，就是连异教徒都做不出来。

2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?

2 你们竟然还自高自大！难道你们不该痛心，把做这事的人从你们当中赶出去吗？

3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

3 现在，我虽然身在远方，心却在你们那里。我已经审判了做这事的人，就像亲自在场一样。

4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

4 你们奉我们主耶稣的名聚会时，我的心并我们主耶稣的权能也与你们同在。

5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

5 你们要把这人交给撒旦去毁坏他的肉体，好使这人的灵魂在主耶稣再来的日子可以得救。

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

6 你们自夸不是好事，岂不知一点面酵能使整团面发起来吗？

7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

7 你们要把旧酵除掉，好成为真正无酵的新面团，因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督已经被献为祭了。

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

8 所以，我们不可带着歹毒邪恶的旧酵守这逾越节，而要用纯洁真诚的无酵饼。

9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

9 我以前曾经写信吩咐你们，不可与淫乱的人交往。

10 I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

10 我的意思并不是指世上所有淫乱、贪婪、欺诈与祭拜偶像的人。那样的话，你们将不得不离开这个世界。

11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

11 我的意思是，若有人自称是信徒，却淫乱、贪婪、祭拜偶像、毁谤、酗酒、欺诈，你们不要和他们交往，甚至不要和他们一起吃饭。

12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

12 审判教会以外的人与我何干？然而，教会里面的人岂不是该由你们审判吗？

13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”

13 上帝自会审判教会以外的人，你们要把那邪恶的人从你们当中赶出去。
