1 Corinthians 5:10-12
New Testament for Everyone
10 I didn’t (of course) mean immoral people in the world at large, or greedy people, or thieves, or idolaters. To avoid them, you’d have to remove yourselves from the world altogether! 11 No; I was referring to people who call themselves Christians but who are immoral, or greedy, or idolaters, or blasphemers, or drunkards or robbers. You shouldn’t associate with them; you shouldn’t even eat with a person like that. 12 Why should I worry about judging people outside? It’s the people inside you should judge, isn’t it?

1 Corinthians 5:10-12
New International Version
10 not at all meaning the people of this world(A) who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a](B) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater(C) or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.(D)
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside(E) the church? Are you not to judge those inside?(F)
