5:1 |
Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father. |
5:2 |
And yet you are inflated, and you have not instead been grieved, so that he who has done this thing would be taken away from your midst. |
5:3 |
Certainly, though absent in body, I am present in spirit. Thus, I have already judged, as if I were present, him who has done this. |
5:4 |
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have been gathered together with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus, |
5:5 |
to hand over such a one as this to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
5:6 |
It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass? |
5:7 |
Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated. |
5:8 |
And so, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. |
