1 Corinthians 5
Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 5 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father's wife.
2 And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this thing.
3 I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you 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 the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?
7 Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.
8 Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.
10 I mean not with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or the extortioners or the servers of idols: otherwise you must needs go out of this world.
