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

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world.

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.

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or a greedy person, or an idolater, or is verbally abusive, or habitually drunk, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a person.

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.

For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE EVIL PERSON FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
