¹ Everywhere it is heard that fornication is among you, and such fornication which is not named among the heathen, so as for one to have his father's wife.² And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that did this deed might be taken from your midst.³ For as being absent in body, but being present in spirit, I have already judged the one who has worked out this thing, as if I were present:⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together with my spirit also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,⁵ to deliver such a one to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.⁶ Your boast is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens all the lump?

⁷ Then purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.⁸ So let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and of evil, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

⁹ I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with fornicators;¹⁰ and not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or with plunderers, or with idolaters, since then you must go out of the world.¹¹ But now I wrote to you not to associate intimately; if anyone is called a brother and is either a fornicator, or a covetous one, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a plunderer, with such a one not to eat.¹² For what is it to me also to judge the ones outside? Do you not judge those inside?¹³ But God will judge the ones outside. "And you shall put out from yourselves the evil one ." Deut. 17:7
