- Kapitel 5 -

(Leviticus 20:10–21; Proverbs 5:1–23)

It is heard certainely that there is fornication among you: and such fornication as is not once named among the Gentiles, that one should haue his fathers wife.

And ye are puffed vp and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done this deede, might be put from among you.

For I verely as absent in bodie, but present in spirit, haue determined already as though I were present, that he that hath thus done this thing,

When ye are gathered together, and my spirit, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that such one, I say, by the power of our Lord Iesus Christ,

Be deliuered vnto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saued in the day of the Lord Iesus.

Your reioycing is not good: knowe ye not that a litle leauen, leaueneth ye whole lumpe?

Purge out therefore the olde leauen, that ye may be a newe lumpe, as ye are vnleauened: for Christ our Passeouer is sacrificed for vs.

Therefore let vs keepe the feast, not with olde leauen, neither in the leauen of maliciousnes and wickednesse: but with the vnleauened bread of synceritie and trueth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

I wrote vnto you in an Epistle, that ye should not companie together with fornicatours,

And not altogether with the fornicatours of this world, or with the couetous, or with extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must goe out of the world.

But nowe I haue written vnto you, that ye companie not together: if any that is called a brother, be a fornicatour, or couetous, or an idolater, or a rayler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one eate not.

For what haue I to doe, to iudge them also which are without? doe ye not iudge them that are within?

But God iudgeth them that are without. Put away therefore from among your selues that wicked man.

(Leviticus 20:10–21; Proverbs 5:1–23)

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”(a)
