1 Corinthians 5:8-10
New Testament for Everyone
8 What we now have to do is to keep the festival properly: none of the leaven of the old life, and none of the leaven of depravity and wickedness, either. What we need is leaven-free bread, and that means sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in the previous letter not to become associated with immoral people. 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!

1 Corinthians 5:8-10
New International Version
8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread(A) of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate(B) with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world(C) who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
