The document reports that there is a case of sexual immorality among the congregation involving a man having sexual relations with his father's wife. The author states that this kind of immorality is not tolerated even among pagans. He instructs the congregation to remove this man from their community and deliver him to Satan for his flesh to be destroyed so that his spirit may be saved.

2. It
is
actually
reported
that
there
is
sexual
immorality
among
you,
and
of
a
kind
that
is
not
tolerated
even
among
pagans,
for
a
man
has
his
father's
wife.
And
you
are
arrogant!
Ought
you
not
rather
to
mourn?
Let
him
who
has
done
this
be
removed
from
among
you.

3. For
though
absent
in
body,
I
am
present
in
spirit;
and
as
if
present,
I
have
already
pronounced
judgment
on
the
one
who
did
such
a
thing.
When
you
are
assembled
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
and
my
spirit
is
present,
with
the
power
of
our
Lord
Jesus,
you
are
to
deliver
this
man
to
Satan
for
the
destrucHon
of
the
flesh,
so
that
his
spirit
may
be
saved
in
the
day
of
the
Lord.
