1 Corinthians 5:11-13
New Testament for Everyone
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? 13 God judges the people outside. “Drive out the wicked person from your company.”

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
New International Version
11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a](A) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater(B) or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.(C)
12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside(D) the church? Are you not to judge those inside?(E) 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[b](F)
