1 Corinthians 5:3-8
New International Version
3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.(A) As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus(B) on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over(C) to Satan(D) for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.(E)
6 Your boasting is not good.(F) Don’t you know that a little yeast(G) leavens the whole batch of dough?(H) 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.(I) 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread(J) of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:3-8
King James Version
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:3-8
New King James Version
3 (A)For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the (B)name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, (C)with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 (D)deliver such a one to (E)Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord [a]Jesus.
6 (F)Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that (G)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore [b]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed (H)Christ, our (I)Passover, was sacrificed [c]for us. 8 Therefore (J)let us keep the feast, (K)not with old leaven, nor (L)with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
