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. |
