| [4]That in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha all of you be assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, |

[No book] |
| [7]Purge from you the old leaven, that you may be a new mass; so that you may be [as] unleavened bread. For our Pascha is the Meshiha, who hath been slain for us. |
[No book] |
| [8]Therefore, let us perform the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and animosity, but with the unleavened bread of purity and of holiness. |

| [11]But this which I have written to you, Be not mixed, [is,] If any one who is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous,ⓘ or a worshipper of idols, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with one who is such as he not to eat bread. |

[No book] |
| [13]But those who are without, Aloha judgeth: and put away the wicked one from among you. |
