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.
Lev 18:8,
20:11
Deut 22:30,
27:20
|
| 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. |
