<< 1 Corinthians 5
>>
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and
such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should
have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that
hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have
judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this
deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered
together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as
ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither
with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with
the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out
of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man
that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a
railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do
not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from
among yourselves that wicked person.
