1 Corinthians 5:2

Immoral Behavior And Church Discipline

¹ 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. ² 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. ³ 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.
