THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 5

Text size

1 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 ather’s wife ⚑

2 And ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you ⚑

3 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 ⚑

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ when ye are gathered together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ ⚑

5 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 ⚑

6 Your glorying is not good Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ⚑

7 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 ⚑

8 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 ⚑

9 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 ⚑
