      | ¶ | It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. | |
| And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. | ||
| For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, | ||
| In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, | ||
| To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. | ||
| Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? | ||
 | Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: | ||
| Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth. | ||
| ¶ | I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: | |
| Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. | ||
| But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. | ||
| For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? | ||
| But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. |
