1 Actually there is reported among you fornication, and such fornication as exists not even among the gentiles, that one of you should have his father's wife! 2 And ye have become puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he who did this deed might be taken away from you. 3 For I, verily, being absent in the body, but present in the Spirit, have already, as if present, judged him who so wrought this; 4 in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6 Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover was sacrificed, even , Christ; 8 therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:1-8, Worrell New Testament.
