1 Corinthians 5

1It is absolutely heard, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens; that one should have his father’s wife.

2And you are puffed up; and have not rather mourned, that he might be taken away from among you, that hath done this deed.

3I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,

4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus;

5To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?

7Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.

8Therefore let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.

10I mean not with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the extortioners, or the servers of idols; otherwise you must needs go out of this world.

11But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a server of idols, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.

12For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?

13For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.

1Omnino auditur inter vos fornicatio, et talis fornicatio, qualis nec inter gentes, ita ut uxorem patris sui aliquis habeat.

2Et vos inflati estis: et non magis luctum habuistis ut tollatur de medio vestrum qui hoc opus fecit.

3Ego quidem absens corpore, præsens autem spiritu, jam judicavi ut præsens eum, qui sic operatus est,

4in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, congregatis vobis et meo spiritu, cum virtute Domini nostri Jesu,

5tradere hujusmodi Satanæ in interitum carnis, ut spiritus salvus sit in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

6Non est bona gloriatio vestra. Nescitis quia modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit?

7Expurgate vetus fermentum, ut sitis nova conspersio, sicut estis azymi. Etenim Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus.

8Itaque epulemur: non in fermento veteri, neque in fermento malitiæ et nequitiæ: sed in azymis sinceritatis et veritatis.

9Scripsi in epistola: Ne commisceamini fornicariis:

10non utique fornicariis hujus mundi, aut avaris, aut rapacibus, aut idolis servientibus: alioquin debueratis de hoc mundo exiisse.

11Nunc autem scripsi vobis non commisceri: si is qui frater nominatur, est fornicator, aut avarus, aut idolis serviens, aut maledicus, aut ebriosus, aut rapax, cum ejusmodi nec cibum sumere.

12Quid enim mihi de iis qui foris sunt, judicare? nonne de iis qui intus sunt, vos judicatis?

13nam eos qui foris sunt, Deus judicabit. Auferte malum ex vobis ipsis.

1Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father.

2And yet you are inflated, and you have not instead been grieved, so that he who has done this thing would be taken away from your midst.

3Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this.

4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus,

5to hand over such a one as this to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass?

7Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated.

8And so, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9As I have written to you in an epistle: “Do not associate with fornicators,”

10certainly not with the fornicators of this world, nor with the greedy, nor with robbers, nor with the servants of idolatry. Otherwise, you ought to depart from this world.

11But now I have written to you: do not associate with anyone who is called a brother and yet is a fornicator, or greedy, or a servant of idolatry, or a slanderer, or inebriated, or a robber. With such a one as this, do not even take food.

12For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? But do not even you yourselves judge those who are inside?

13For those who are outside, God will judge. But send this evil person away from yourselves.
