1 Corinthians 5:1-9 There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the gentiles: that one should have his father's wife.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the gentiles: that one should have his father's wife. ² And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you. ³ For 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; ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven soureth the whole lump of dough? ⁷ Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us. ⁸ Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness — but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth. ⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle that ye should not company with fornicators.
