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 A nd ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 F or I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, him that has so done this deed.

4 I n the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 l et such a one be delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Y our glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens 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 t herefore let us celebrate the feast, not in the old leaven, neither in the leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 ¶ I wrote unto you in an epistle not to associate with fornicators,

10 y et not altogether with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or extortioners or with idolaters, for then ye would need to go out of the world.

11 B ut now I have written unto you not to associate with anyone calling himself a brother if he is a fornicator or covetous or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such a one do not even eat.

12 F or why shall I judge those that are without? do ye not judge those that are within?

13 B ut those that are without, God shall judge. Therefore, put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
