¹ There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, & suche fornication as is not named among the gentiles: that one shoulde haue his fathers wyfe.² And ye swell, and haue not rather sorowed, that he that hath so done this deede myght be put from among you.³ For I veryly, as absent in body, but present in spirite, haue determined alredie, as though I were present, concernyng hym that hath done this deede.⁴ In the name of our Lorde Iesus Christe, when ye are gathered together and my spirite, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Christe,⁵ To delyuer suche a one vnto Satan for the destruction of the flesshe, that the spirite may be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.⁶ Your reioycing is not good. Knowe ye not, that a litle leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe ?

⁷ Purge out therfore the olde leauen, that ye maye be newe dowe, as ye are vnleauened bread: For Christe our Pasouer is offred vp for vs.⁸ Therefore let vs kepe holy day, not with old leauen, neither with the leauen of maliciousnes and wickednesse, but with the vnleauened bread of purenesse and trueth.

⁹ I wrote vnto you in an epistle, that ye should not companie with fornicatours:¹⁰ [And I meant] not at all with the fornicatours of this worlde, or with the couetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then must ye needes haue gone out of the world.¹¹ But nowe I haue written vnto you, that ye companie not together, if any that is called a brother be a fornicatour, or couetous, or a worshipper of idols, or a rayler, or a drunkarde, or an extortioner: with him that is such [see that ye] eate not.¹² For what haue I to do to iudge them that are without? Do ye not iudge them that are within? ¹³ Them that are without God iudgeth. Put away from among you that wicked person.
