1 Corinthians 5 1-1 Corinthians 5 10
It is widely reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated among the Gentiles— a man is living with his father’s wife.And you are inflated with pride, instead of filled with grief so that he who has committed this act might be removed from your congregation.For though I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already decided about the one who has done this thing as though I were present.When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus,turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast permeates the whole batch of dough?Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast or with the yeast of malice and evil but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.

He then told them,“ Watch out and be on guard against all greed because one’s life is not in the abundance of his possessions.”Then He told them a parable:“ A rich man’s land was very productive.He thought to himself,‘ What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops?I will do this,’ he said.‘ I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones and store all my grain and my goods there.Then I’ll say to myself,“ You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared— whose will they be?’“ That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”Then He said to His disciples:“ Therefore I tell you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat; or about the body, what you will wear.For life is more than food and the body more than clothing.Consider the ravens: They don’t sow or reap; they don’t have a storeroom or a barn; yet God feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than the birds?Can any of you add a cubit to his height by worrying?If then you’re not able to do even a little thing, why worry about the rest?“ Consider how the wildflowers grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you— you of little faith?Don’t keep striving for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious.For the Gentile world eagerly seeks all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.“ But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you.

Look at the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in what is offered on the altar?What am I saying then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to participate with demons!You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons.Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

But I will rebuke you and lay out the case before you.

For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality,so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification.Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.
