1 Corinthians Chapter 5 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians Chapter 5 (New Testament)
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1 Corinthians Chapter 5 (New Testament)
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Corinthians Chapter 5
Verse: "Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?" - 1 Corinthians 5:6
Lesson: In this chapter, Paul addresses the issue of sexual immorality within the Corinthian church. He notes that the church should not tolerate such behavior and calls for the removal of the immoral person from the congregation. He emphasizes the importance of purity and warns against the dangers of allowing sin to spread unchecked.
Conclusion: As believers, we must strive for purity in all areas of our lives, including our thoughts and actions. We must be willing to confront sin when it arises, both within ourselves and within the church. This may require difficult conversations and actions, but it is essential to maintain the integrity and purity of the church.
Prayer Points: Ask God to help you maintain purity in your thoughts and actions. Pray for the courage and wisdom to confront sin when it arises. Finally, pray for the leaders of your church as they navigate difficult situations and make decisions regarding church discipline.
