| 1 | Above 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. |
| 2 | And 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. |
| 3 | Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this. |
| 4 | In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus, |
| 5 | to 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. |
| 6 | It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass? |
| 7 | Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated. |
| 8 | And 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. |
| 9 | As I have written to you in an epistle: "Do not associate with fornicators," |
| 10 | certainly 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. |
| 11 | But 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. |
| 12 | For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? But do not even you yourselves judge those who are inside? |
| 13 | For those who are outside, God will judge. But send this evil person away from yourselves. |
