LO - I Corinthians - 5

5:1  It is generally reported that there is incest among you; and such incest as is not even among the heathens--that one has his father's wife.

5:2  And you are puffed up, and have not rather bewailed, so that he who has done this work might be taken from among you.

5:3  Wherefore, I, indeed, as absent in the body yet present in spirit, have already, as present, judged him who committed this act.

5:4  My sentence is this: You being assembled, my spirit also being with you; in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ,

5:5  deliver this very person up to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

5:6  Your boasting is not becoming. Do you not know, that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

5:7  Cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, seeing you are without leaven; for even our passover, Christ is sacrificed for us.

5:8  Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with unleavened sincerity and truth.

5:9  I wrote you, in that epistle, not to associate with the vicious;

5:10  but I did not mean in general the fornicators of this world, the avaricious, the rapacious, or the idolaters; seeing, then, indeed, you must go out of the world.

5:11  But now I write to you, if any one, called a brother, be a fornicator, or a covetous person, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; not to associate, not even to eat, with such a person.

5:12  For what have I to do to pronounce sentence on them also who are without? Do not you judge them who are within?

5:13  But them are without, God judges. Therefore, put away from among yourselves the wicked person.
