Life Together Part 1

Hebrews 13:17

17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an

Hebrews 13:17

account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

pagans, for a man has his father’s wife.
2And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

this be removed from among you.
3For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

leavens the whole lump?
7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are

1 Corinthians 5:1-7

unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
