1 Corinthians 5

1 It is universally reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as [is] not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.

IT is generally reported that there is whoredom among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

2 And ye are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.

And ye are puffed up, though ought ye not rather to be grieved? that he who hath done this deed might be plucked from the midst of you.

3 For I, [as] absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

For I indeed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as present, passed judgment on him who hath so done this thing;

4 [to deliver, ] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ye being assembled together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 to deliver him, [I say, ] [being] such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

to deliver such a one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your boasting [is] not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Your glorying is not good: know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass?

7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ.

8 so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

I have written unto you in an epistle that you should not associate with fornicators.

10 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since [then] ye should go out of the world.

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters: for then must ye indeed go out of the world.

11 But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with [him]; with such a one not even to eat.

But now I have written unto you not to associate with him, if any man, professing to be a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one not even to eat.

12 For what have I [to do] with judging those outside also? ye, do not ye judge them that are within?

For what call have I to judge those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within the church?

13 But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.

But those who are without God judgeth. Put then away that wicked man from among yourselves.
