¹ Fornication is heard literally to be among you° (and such fornication which is not even named among the Gentiles) so-then for someone to be having his father’s wife.

² And you° are being arrogant, and did not rather mourn in-order-that he who did$ this work might be taken away out-of your° midst.

³ For$ indeed, as being absent in the body, but being present$ in the spirit, I have already judged him thus (the one who worked out this thing), as though being present$,

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you° and my spirit were gathered together, together-with the power of our Lord Jesus,

⁵ to give such a one to the Adversary $for utter-destruction of the flesh in-order-that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁶ Your° boasting is not a good thing. Do you° not know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch?

⁷ Cleanse° out the old leaven in-order-that you° may be a new batch, just-as you° are unleavened. For$ Christ our Passover was also sacrificed on our behalf.

⁸ So-then we should celebrate a festival, not in old leaven, nor in leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

⁹ I wrote to you° in the letter from me not to socialize yourselves together-with fornicators,

¹⁰ and certainly not meaning with the fornicators of this world or with the greedy ones or ravening ones or idolaters, otherwise, you° are consequently$ obligated to go forth out-of the world.

¹¹ But now, I wrote to you° not to socialize yourselves together-with anyone if he is named a brother, who is either a fornicator or greedy one, or an idolater or a reviler, or a drunkard or a ravening one, not to even eat together-with such a person.

¹² For$ what is it to me to also judge the ones who are outside? Are you° not judging the ones who are inside?

¹³ Now God will be judging those outside, and you° yourselves will take away the evil man from among you°.
