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. |
