1Cor 5
1
Fornication is commonly reported among you; and such fornication as is not heard among
the Heathens, that the son should take the wife of his father.
2
And you are inflated; but should you not rather sit in grief that he who hath wrought
this work might be put away from you?
3
But I, while distant from you in body, am near you in spirit, and now judge, as if
near you, him who hath done this;
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,
5
and you deliver this (man) to Satana for the destruction of his body, that in spirit
he may be saved in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
6
MY brethren, your boasting is not seemly. Know you not that a little leaven the whole
mass leaveneth?
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.
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.
9
I have written to you by epistle, not to be mixed with fornicators;
10
but I do not say with fornicators who are in this world, nor speak I concerning the
covetous, or the rapacious, or the servers of idols; otherwise you would be obligated
from the world also to go forth.
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.
12
For what had I to judge those who are without? But you judge those who are within;
13
but those who are without, Aloha judgeth: and put away the wicked one from among you.
