SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–13: Paul commanded the believers to punish the immoral church member

Someone had told Paul that one of the men in the church in Corinth had been having sexual relations with his father’s wife, that is, his step-mother. Paul wrote that the believers must punish this man by expelling him from the church. They should not allow this man to meet with them when they gathered to worship God together. Paul urged the Corinthians to keep away from people who called themselves believers but continually committed grave sins. The main point of this section is that the Corinthians were to judge and discipline the man within their fellowship who was sinning.

Paragraph 5:9–11

In this paragraph Paul corrected something that the Corinthians had misunderstood. In a letter he had written to them earlier, he had told them to have nothing to do with sexually immoral people. Some people in Corinth thought he meant unbelievers only. So they ignored the bad doings of a man in their own group. What Paul had meant was not to have anything to do with people who said they were Christians and yet behaved immorally.

5:9a

I wrote you in my letter

I wrote you in my letter: Paul was referring to a letter that he had written before he wrote 1 Corinthians. That letter is now lost, and we do not have any copies. But the Corinthians knew about it at the time Paul wrote this present letter. Other ways of translating this verse part include:

I have written to you in my letter (NIV)

In my other letter I told you… (CEV)

5:9b

not to associate with sexually immoral people.

not to associate with sexually immoral people: To associate with people means to mingle freely with them, to fellowship with them, be close to them, and do things with them. People who are sexually immoral are people who have sex with people to whom they are not married.

sexually immoral people: The Greek word that the BSB has translated as sexually immoral people is literally “fornicators.” A fornicator is a person who engages in sexual sin. In your translation, use a word that is appropriate for public reading. Some English versions use a euphemism and say simply:

immoral people (GNT)

General Comment on 5:9a-b

In some languages it may be natural to translate Paul’s words from his earlier letter as direct speech. For example:

In my previous letter I said, “Don’t mix with the immoral.” (JBP)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔγραψα ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔγραψα ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ μή συναναμίγνυσθαι πόρνοις)

Here Paul refers to a letter that he wrote and sent to the Corinthians before he began this letter. The phrase does not refer to this letter but to a previous letter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate I wrote to you in my letter by including a word that clarifies that my letter is one that Paul has already sent. Alternate translation: [I already wrote to you in my previous letter]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

συναναμίγνυσθαι

˓to_be˒_associating_with

Here, to associate with often refers to two groups of people meeting together. The idea here is that sexually immoral people should not be a part of the Corinthians’ group. If to associate with does not have this meaning in your language, you could express the idea by using a word that refers to including people in one’s group. Alternate translation: [to consistently meet with]
