1 Corinthians 5:4-6
New Life Version
4 Call a meeting of the church. I will be with you in spirit. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His power, 5 hand this person over to the devil. His body is to be destroyed so his spirit may be saved on the day the Lord comes again.
6 It is not good for you to be proud of the way things are going in your church. You know a little yeast makes the whole loaf of bread rise.
