1 Fornication is commonly reported among you; and such fornication as is not heard among the Heathens, that the son should take the wife of his father.

2 And you are inflated; but should you not rather sit in grief that he who hath wrought this work might be put away from you?

3 But I, while distant from you in body, am near you in spirit, and now judge, as if near you, him who hath done this;

4 that in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha all of you be assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

5 and you deliver this (man) to Satana for the destruction of his body, that in spirit he may be saved in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

6 MY brethren, your boasting is not seemly. Know you not that a little leaven the whole mass leaveneth?

7 Purge from you the old leaven, that you may be a new mass; so that you may be (as) unleavened bread. For our Pascha is the Meshiha, who hath been slain for us.

8 Therefore, let us perform the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and animosity, but with the unleavened bread of purity and of holiness.

9 I have written to you by epistle, not to be mixed with fornicators;

10 but I do not say with fornicators who are in this world, nor speak I concerning the covetous, or the rapacious, or the servers of idols; otherwise you would be obligated from the world also to go forth.

11 But this which I have written to you, Be not mixed, (is,) If any one who is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of idols, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with one who is such as he not to eat bread.

12 For what had I to judge those who are without? But you judge those who are within;

13 but those who are without, Aloha judgeth: and put away the wicked one from among you.
