[1]In short, it is reported, there is whoredom among you; and such whoredom as is not even named among the heathen, that a son should even take the wife of his father. |
| [No book] |
[2]And ye are inflated, and have not rather sitten down in grief, that he who hath done this deed might be separated from you. |
| [No book] |
[3]And I, while distant from you in body but present with you in spirit, have already, as if present, judged him who perpetrateth this deed; |
| [No book] |
[4]that ye all assemble together, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and I with you in spirit, together with the energy of our Lord Jesus Messiah; |
| [No book] |
[5]and that ye deliver him over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that in spirit he may have life, in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah. |

[6]Your glorying is not praiseworthy. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass? |
| [No book] |
[7]Purge out from you the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover is the Messiah, who was slain for us. |
| [No book] |
[8]Therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity. |

[9]I wrote to you by letter, not to commingle with whoremongers. |
| [No book] |
[10]But I say not, with the whoremongers who are in the world, nor [speak I] of the avaricious, or of the rapacious, or of the idol-worshippers, otherwise ye would be obliged to go out of the world. |
| [No book] |
[11]But this is what I wrote to you, that ye commingle not, if any one is called a brother, and is a whoremonger, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread. |
| [No book] |
[12]For what business have I to judge them who are without? But those within the body, judge ye, |
| [No book] |
[13]and those without, God judgeth; and remove ye the wickedness from among you. |
