Chapter 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 idolater, 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. |
