51 Corinthians 5

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:1

2And yee are puffed vp, and haue not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed, might bee taken away from among you.Select 1 Corinthians 5:2

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,Select 1 Corinthians 5:3

4In the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, when yee are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Iesus Christ,Select 1 Corinthians 5:4

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:5

6Your glorying is not good: knowe ye not that a little leauen leaueneth the whole lumpe?Select 1 Corinthians 5:6

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:7

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:8

9I wrote vnto you in an Epistle not to company with fornicators.Select 1 Corinthians 5:9

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:10

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.Select 1 Corinthians 5:11

12For what haue I to doe to iudge them also that are without? doe not ye iudge them that are within?Select 1 Corinthians 5:12

13But them that are without, God iudgeth. Therefore put away from among your selues that wicked person.Select 1 Corinthians 5:13
