¹ It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father’s wife.² And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this thing.³ I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus:⁵ To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.⁶ Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?

⁷ Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.⁸ Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

⁹ I wrote to you in an epistle not to keep company with fornicators.¹⁰ I mean not with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or the extortioners or the servers of idols: otherwise you must needs go out of this world.¹¹ But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator or covetous or a server of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.¹² For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?¹³ For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.
