5 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 idolator, 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.
