1 Corinthians 5:11-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 But rather I wrote[a] to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality[b] or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
