1 Corinthians 5:11-13

Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church

11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone n who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler - not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging o outsiders? p Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges 1 those outside. q "Purge the evil person from among you."
