1 Corinthians 5




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.  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 idolater, 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.
