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.
02 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might
be taken away from among you.
03 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,
04 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye
are gathered together, and my spirit, with the
power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
05 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.
06 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a
little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
07 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:

08 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.
09 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company
with fornicators:
10 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.
11 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.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that
are without? do not ye judge them that are
within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth.
Therefore put away from among yourselves that
wicked person.
