LITV - I Corinthians - 5

5:1  Everywhere it is heard that fornication is among you, and such fornication which is not named among the heathen, so as one to have his father's wife.

5:2  And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that did this deed might be taken from your midst.

5:3  For as being absent in body, but being present in spirit, I have already judged the one who has worked out this thing, as if I were present:

5:4  In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together with my spirit also, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:5  to deliver such a one to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

5:6  Your boast is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens all the lump?

5:7  Then purge out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For also Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.

5:8  So let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and of evil, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

5:9  I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with fornicators;

5:10  and not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or with plunderers, or with idolaters, since then you must go out of the world.

5:11  But now I wrote to you not to associate intimately; if anyone is called a brother and is either a fornicator, or a covetous one, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a plunderer, with such a one not to eat.

5:12  For what is it to me also to judge the ones outside? Do you not judge those inside?

5:13  But God will judge the ones outside. "And you shall put out the evil one from you." Deut. 17:7
