< 1 Corinthians 5 >

1 It is everywhere reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
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 ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, so that he that committed this deed might be separated from among you.
And you are puffed up; and have not rather mourned, that he might be taken away from among you, that hath done this deed.
3 For I, for my part, though absent in the body, yet present in the spirit have already determined, as if I were present with you, respecting him who thus wrought this deed,
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, when you and my spirit with you are assembled together, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
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 man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
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 ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?
7 Cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ.
Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.
8 So then let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
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 that letter, not to keep company with fornicators;
I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.
10 certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must go out of the world.
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 this is what I wrote you, not to keep company with any one called a brother, if he be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even to eat.
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 with judging those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within?
For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?
13 But those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.
For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.
