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 風聞在你們中間有淫亂的事。這樣的淫亂連外邦人中也沒有，就是有人收了他的繼母。

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 你們還是自高自大，並不哀痛，把行這事的人從你們中間趕出去。

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 我身子雖不在你們那裏，心卻在你們那裏，好像我親自與你們同在，已經判斷了行這事的人。

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 就是你們聚會的時候，我的心也同在。奉我們主耶穌的名，並用我們主耶穌的權能，

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 要把這樣的人交給撒但，敗壞他的肉體，使他的靈魂在主耶穌的日子可以得救。

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

6 你們這自誇是不好的。豈不知一點麵酵能使全團發起來嗎？

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 你們既是無酵的麵，應當把舊酵除淨，好使你們成為新團；因為我們逾越節的羔羊基督已經被殺獻祭了。

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，我們守這節不可用舊酵，也不可用惡毒 、邪惡的酵，只用誠實真正的無酵餅。

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

9 我先前寫信給你們說，不可與淫亂的人相交。

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 此話不是指這世上一概行淫亂的，或貪婪的，勒索的，或拜偶像的；若是這樣，你們除非離開世界方可。

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 但如今我寫信給你們說，若有稱為弟兄是行淫亂的，或貪婪的，或拜偶像的，或辱罵的，或醉酒的，或勒索的，這樣的人不可與他相交，就是與他吃飯都不可。

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

12 因為審判教外的人與我何干？教內的人豈不是你們審判的嗎？

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

13 至於外人有上帝審判他們。你們應當把那惡人從你們中間趕出去。
