CHAP. V.

1 The incestuous person 6 is cause rather of shame vnto them, then of reioycing. 7 The olde leauen is to be purged out. 10 Heinous offenders are to be shamed & auoided.

¹It is reported commonly, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication, as is not so much as named amongst the Gentiles, that one should haue his fathers wife.

²And yee are puffed vp, and haue not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed, might bee taken away from among you.

³For I verily as absent in body, but present in spirit, haue iudged alreadie, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,³

⁴In the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, when yee are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Iesus Christ,

⁵To deliuer such a one vnto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saued in the day of the Lord Iesus.⁵

⁶Your glorying is not good: know ye not that a little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe?⁶

⁷Purge out therefore the olde leauen, that ye may be a new lumpe, as ye are vnleauened. For euen Christ our Passeouer is sacrificed for vs.⁷

⁸Therefore let vs keepe the Feast, not with old leauen, neither with the leauen of malice and wickednesse: but with the vnleauened bread of sinceritie and trueth.⁸

⁹I wrote vnto you in an Epistle, not to company with fornicators.

¹⁰Yet not altogether with the fornicatours of this world, or with the couetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must yee needs goe out of the world.

¹¹But now I haue written vnto you, not to keepe company, if any man that is called a brother bee a fornicator, or couetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, no, not to eate.

¹²For what haue I to doe to iudge them also that are without? doe not ye iudge them that are within?

¹³But them that are without, God iudgeth. Therefore put away from among your selues that wicked person.
