1Corinthians:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you ,
and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles ,
that one should have his father '
s wife .
*
And ye are puffed up ,
and have not rather mourned ,
that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you .
*
For I verily ,
as absent in body ,
but present in spirit ,
have judged already ,
as though I were present ,
concerning him that hath so done this deed ,
*
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
when ye are gathered together ,
and my spirit ,
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh ,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus .
*
Your glorying is not good .
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ?
*
Purge out therefore the old leaven ,
that ye may be a new lump ,
as ye are unleavened .
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us :
*
Therefore let us keep the feast ,
not with old leaven ,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness ;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth .
*
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators :
*
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world ,
or with the covetous ,
or extortioners ,
or with idolaters ;
for then must ye needs go out of the world .
*
But now I have written unto you not to keep company ,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator ,
or covetous ,
or an idolater ,
or a railer ,
or a drunkard ,
or an extortioner ;
with such an one no not to eat .
*
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without ?
do not ye judge them that are within ?
*
But them that are without God judgeth .
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person .
