New International Reader's Version

1 Corinthians 5:5-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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?

7. Get rid of the old yeast. Be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are, because Christ has been offered up for us. He is our Passover lamb.

8. So let us keep the Feast, but not with the old yeast. I'm talking about yeast that is full of hatred and evil. Let us keep the Feast with bread made without yeast. Let us do it with bread that is honest and true.

9. I wrote a letter to you to tell you to stay away from people who commit sexual sins.
