have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3
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,
4
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are
gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5
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.
6
Your glorying
is
not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7
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:
8
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.
9
I wrote
unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10
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.
11
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.
12
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
judge them that are within?
13
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from
among yourselves that wicked person.
CHAPTER CORINTHIANS 6
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the
saints?
2
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by
you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how
much more things that pertain to this life?
4
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this
life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that
there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7
Now therefore there is
utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong?
why do ye not rather
suffer yourselves to
be defrauded?
8
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that
your
brethren.
9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind,
10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God.
11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats:
but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body
is
not for fornication, but for the Lord; and
the Lord for the body.
14
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his
