1 Corinthians 5

2 He reproveth sharply their negligence in punishing him that had committed incest, 3 Willing them to excommunicate him, 7 To embrace purity, 9 And flee wickedness.
1.It is heard certainly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the aGentiles, *that one should have his father’s wife.
2.And ye are puffed up and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed, might be put from among you.
3.*For I verily as absent in body, but present in spirit, have determined already as though I were present, that he that hath bthus done this thing,
4.When ye are gathered together, and my cspirit, din the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that such one, I say, by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5.*Be delivered unto eSatan, for the fdestruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6.Your rejoicing is not ggood: *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, has ye are unleavened: for Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
8.Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither in the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9.I wrote unto you in an epistle, *that ye should not company together with fornicators,
10.And inot all together with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or with extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must go out of the world.
11.But now I have written unto you, that ye company not together: if any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or kan idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one eat not.
12.For what have I to do, to judge them also, which are lwithout? do ye not judge them that are mwithin?
13.But God judgeth them that are without. Put away therefore from among your selves that wicked man.
