[1]It is heard certainly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
[2]And ye are puffed up and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed, might be put from among you.
[3]For I verily as absent in body, but present in spirit, have determined already as though I were present, that he that hath thus done this thing,
[4]When ye are gathered together, and my spirit, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that such one, I say, by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[5]Be delivered unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
[6]Your rejoicing 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 Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
[8]Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither in the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
[9]I wrote unto you in an epistle, that ye should not company together with fornicators,
[10]And not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or with extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must go out of the world.
[11]But now I have written unto you, that ye company not together: if any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one eat not.
[12]For what have I to do, to judge them also, which are without? do ye not judge them that are within?
[13]But God judgeth them that are without. Put away therefore from among yourselves that wicked man.
