Godbey - I Corinthians - 5

5:1  Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

5:2  And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

5:3  For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

5:4  in the name of the Lord Jesus, you and my spirit being assembled, with the power of the Lord Jesus,

5:5  to turn over such a one to Satan for the destruction of carnality, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

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

5:7  Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover.

5:8  So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

5:9  I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;

5:10  not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world.

5:11  For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

5:12  For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

5:13  Take away the wicked person from you, yourselves.
