| [1] | IT is actually reported that there is fornication among you and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you hath his father’s wife. |
| [2] | And ye 1 are puffed up, and did 2 not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you. |
| [3] | For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing, |
| [4] | in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, |
| [5] | to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 3 |
| [6] | Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
| [7] | Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ: |
| [8] | wherefore let us keep 4 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 my epistle to have no company with fornicators; |
| [10] | not 5 at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: |
| [11] | but as 6 it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. |
| [12] | For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? |
| [13] | But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves. |
