Good News Bible

1 Corinthians 5:5-10 Good News Bible (GNB)

5. you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

6. It is not right for you to be proud! You know the saying, “A little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.”

7. You must remove the old yeast of sin so that you will be entirely pure. Then you will be like a new batch of dough without any yeast, as indeed I know you actually are. For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8. Let us celebrate our Passover, then, not with bread having the old yeast of sin and wickedness, but with the bread that has no yeast, the bread of purity and truth.

9. In the letter that I wrote you I told you not to associate with immoral people.

10. Now I did not mean pagans who are immoral or greedy or are thieves or who worship idols. To avoid them you would have to get out of the world completely.
