CHAPTER 5
1 Yet all manner of fornication is heard among you, and such fornication, which is not among heathen men, so that some man have the wife of his father.

2 And ye be swollen [or blown] with pride, and not more had wailing, that he that did this work, be taken away from the middle of you.

3 And I absent in body, but present in spirit, now have deemed, as present, him that hath thus wrought,

4 when ye be gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and my spirit, with the virtue of the Lord Jesus,

5 to betake such a man to Satan, into the perishing of flesh, that the spirit be safe in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not, that a little sourdough impaireth [or corrupteth] all the gobbet?

7 Cleanse ye out the old sourdough, that ye be new sprinkling together, as ye be therf, [or without souring]. For Christ offered is our pask.

8 Therefore eat we, not in old sourdough, neither in sourdough of malice and waywardness, but in therf things of clearness, and of truth.

9 I wrote to you in an epistle, that ye be not meddled, [or mingled, or commune not], with lechers,

10 not with lechers of this world, nor with covetous men, nor raveners, nor with men serving to maumets [or to idols], else ye should have gone out of this world.

11 But now I have written to you, that ye be not meddled, [or mingled, or commune not with such]. If he that is named a brother among you, and is a lecher, or covetous, or serving to idols, or a curser, or full of drunkenness, or a ravener, to take no meat with such.

12 For what is it to me to deem of them that be withoutforth? Whether ye deem not of things [or of them] that be withinforth?

13 For God shall deem them that be withoutforth. Do ye away evil from yourselves.
