1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians, Chapter 5
Everywhere [it is] reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not named among the nations, so as one to have [his] father's wife.
And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, so that he who has done this deed may be taken from your midst.
For as being absent in body but present in spirit, I indeed have judged already [as though I were] present [concerning] him who worked out this thing;
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, with my spirit; also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;
to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Your boasting [is] not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
Therefore purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
Therefore let us keep [the] feast; not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.
I wrote to you in the letter not to associate intimately with fornicators;
yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you must go out of the world.
But now I have written to you not to associate intimately, if any man called a brother [and is] either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.
For what [is it] to me to also judge those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?
But God judges those who are outside. Therefore put out from you the evil one.
