6 Your boasting is not good; know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole mass? 7 Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are without leaven; for Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed for us. 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 purity and truth. 9 I have written to you in the letter not to associate with lewd persons; 10 yet without the lest allusion to the lewd, or the covetous, or the extortioners, or the idolaters of this world; for then you must go out of the world; 11 but now I write to you, not to associate with any one professing to be a brother, if he is lewd or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one not even to eat. 12 For what right have I to judge those who are without? Do you not judge those who are within? 13 But God will judge those who are without. So then judge , and put away that wicked man from among you. 1 Corinthians 5:6-13, Anderson New Testament.
