Thematic Bible: Corinthian Christians

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality such as is unknown even among pagans ??that a man has taken his father's wife! And yet you are puffed up! You ought much rather to be mourning the loss of a member! Expel the perpetrator of such a crime! For my part, present with you in spirit though absent in body, I have already, as in your presence, passed sentence on such an offender as this, read more.
by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ; I have met with you in spirit, and by the power of our Lord Jesus I have consigned that individual to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, in order that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is no credit to you. Do you not know that a morsel of dough will leaven the whole lump? Clean out the old dough that you may be a fresh lump. For you are free from the old leaven; Christ our paschal lamb has been sacrificed. So let us celebrate our festival, not with any old leaven, not with vice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of innocence and integrity.

For I am afraid I may perhaps come and find you are not what I could wish, while you may find I am not what you could wish; I am afraid of finding quarrels, jealousy, temper, rivalry, slanders, gossiping, arrogance, and disorder ??21 afraid that when I come back to you, my God may humiliate me before you, and I may have to mourn for many who sinned some time ago and yet have never repented of the impurity, the sexual vice, and the sensuality which they have practised.
