1 Corinthians 5:2,6
1 Corinthians 5:1-2 The Message (MSG)
I also received a report of scandalous sex within your church family, a kind that wouldn’t be tolerated even outside the church: One of your men is sleeping with his stepmother. And you’re so above it all that it doesn’t even faze you! Shouldn’t this break your hearts? Shouldn’t it bring you to your knees in tears? Shouldn’t this person and his conduct be confronted and dealt with?
1 Corinthians 5:6-8 The Message (MSG)
Your flip and callous arrogance in these things bothers me. You pass it off as a small thing, but it’s anything but that. Yeast, too, is a “small thing,” but it works its way through a whole batch of bread dough pretty fast. So get rid of this “yeast.” Our true identity is flat and plain, not puffed up with the wrong kind of ingredient. The Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has already been sacrificed for the Passover meal, and we are the Unraised Bread part of the Feast. So let’s live out our part in the Feast, not as raised bread swollen with the yeast of evil, but as flat bread—simple, genuine, unpretentious.
1 Corinthians 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:6 King James Version (KJV)
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:2 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.
1 Corinthians 5:6 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
1 Corinthians 5:2 New Century Version (NCV)
And you are proud! You should have been filled with sadness so that the man who did this should be put out of your group.

Your bragging is not good. You know the saying, “Just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.”
1 Corinthians 5:2 American Standard Version (ASV)
And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:6 American Standard Version (ASV)
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:2 New International Version (NIV)
And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?

1 Corinthians 5:2 Amplified Bible (AMP)
And you are proud and arrogant! You should have mourned in shame so that the man who has done this [disgraceful] thing would be removed from your fellowship!
1 Corinthians 5:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Your boasting [over the supposed spirituality of your church] is not good [indeed, it is vulgar and inappropriate]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven ferments the whole batch [of dough, just as a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church]?
1 Corinthians 5:2 New Living Translation (NLT)
You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.
1 Corinthians 5:6 New Living Translation (NLT)
Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?
1 Corinthians 5:1-2 The Passion Translation (TPT)
It’s been widely reported that there is gross sexual immorality among you—the kind of immorality that’s so revolting it’s not even tolerated by the social norms of unbelievers. Are you proud of the fact that one of your men is having sex with his stepmother? Shouldn’t this heartbreaking scandal bring you to your knees in tears? You must remove the offender from among you!
1 Corinthians 5:6 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Boasting over your tolerance of sin is inappropriate. Don’t you understand that even a small compromise with sin permeates the entire fellowship, just as a little leaven permeates a batch of dough?
