The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

Return to Index

Chapter 5

1

It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father`s wife.

2

And *ye* are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.

3

For *I*, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,

4

to deliver, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:

5

to deliver him, I say, being such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6

Your boasting is not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

7

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;

8

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9

I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

10

not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since then ye should go out of the world.

11

But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with him; with such a one not even to eat.

12

For what have *I* to do with judging those outside also? *ye*, do not ye judge them that are within?

13

But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.

1st Corinthians 6
