English Tyndale 1537

← Chapter 4 Jump to: Chapter 6 →

1There goeth a common saying(report) that there is fornication(whoredom) among you, and such fornication(whoredom) as is not once named among the gentiles:(heathen) that one should have his father's wife.

2And ye swell(are puft up) and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you.

3For I verily as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already (as though I were present) of him that hath done this deed,

4in the name of our Lord Jesu Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ,

5to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven sowereth the whole lump of dough?

7Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our ester lamb is offered up for us.

8Therefore let us keep holyday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

9I wrote unto you in the(an) pistel(Epistle) that ye should not company with fornicators.(have nothing to do with whoremongers)

10And I meant not at all of the fornicators(whoremongers) of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of (the) idolaters:(that worhsip images) for then must ye needs have gone out of the world:

11but now I have written(write) unto you that ye company not together. If any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of images, either a railer, either a drunkard, or an extortioner: with him that is such see (that) ye eat not.

12For what have I to do to judge them which are without? Do ye not judge them that are within?

13Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.
