The Concordant Literal New Testament

Paul To The Corinthians (I.)

¹ Absolutely, it is heard that there is prostitution among you, and such prostitution (which is not even named among the nations), so that someone has his father's wife.
² And you are puffed up, and mourn not rather, that the one who commits this act may be taken away from your midst.
³ For I, indeed, being absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already, as if present, thus judged the one effecting this,
⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (you being gathered, and my spirit, together with the power of our Lord Jesus),
⁵ to give up such a one to Satan for the extermination of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
⁶ Not ideal is your boast. Are you not aware that a little leaven is leavening the whole kneading?
⁷ Clean out, then, the old leaven, that you may be a fresh kneading, according as you are unleavened. For our Passover also, Christ, was sacrificed for our sakes
⁸ so that we may be keeping the festival, not with old leaven, nor yet with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened sincerity and truth.
⁹ I write to you in the epistle not to be commingling with paramours.
¹⁰ And undoubtedly it is not as to the paramours of this world, or the greedy and extortionate, or idolaters, else, consequently, you ought to come out of the world.
¹¹ Yet now I write to you not to be commingling with anyone named a brother, if he should be a paramour, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. With such a one you are not even to be eating.
¹² For what is it to me to be judging those outside? You are not judging those within!
¹³ Now those outside, God is judging. Expel the wicked one from among yourselves.
