New International Reader's Version

1 Corinthians 5:3-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did that, just as if I were there.

4. When you come together in the name of our Lord Jesus, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.

5. When you come together like that, hand that man over to Satan. Then his sinful nature will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

6. Your bragging is not good. It is like yeast. Don't you know that just a little yeast works its way through the whole batch of dough?
