1 Corinthians - 5

picture

1 W horedom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! --

2 a nd ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work,

3 f or I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing:

4 i n the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 t o deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 N ot good your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

7 c leanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- Christ,

8 s o that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

9 I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers --

10 a nd not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world --

11 a nd now, I did write to you not to keep company with, if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- with such a one not even to eat together;

12 f or what have I also those without to judge? those within do ye not judge?

13 a nd those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves.
