Immorality Rebuked[ Leviticus 20:10–21 Proverbs 5:1–23 ]

[1] It is reported2 commonly [that there is] fornication3 among you, and4 such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one5 should have his father’s wife. [2] And ye are6 puffed up, and have not rather mourned7, that he that hath done this deed might8 be taken away from among you. [3] For I verily, as absent9 in body, but present in spirit, have judged10 already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, [4] In the name11 of our Lord Jesus Christ, when12 ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, [5] To deliver13 such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that14 the spirit may be saved in the day15 of the Lord Jesus. [6] Your glorying16 [is] not good. Know ye not that a little17 leaven leaveneth the whole lump? [7] Purge18 out therefore the old leaven, that ye may19 be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ20 our passover is sacrificed21 for us: [8] Therefore let22 us keep the feast23, not24 with old leaven, neither25 with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but26 with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Expel the Immoral Brother

[9] I wrote unto you in an epistle not27 to company with fornicators: [10] Yet not altogether28 with the fornicators of this29 world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for30 then must ye needs go out of the world. [11] But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called31 a brother be a fornicator32, or covetous33, or an idolater34, or a railer35, or a drunkard36, or an extortioner37; with38 such an one no not to eat. [12] For what39 have I to do to judge them40 also that are without? do not41 ye judge them that are within? [13] But them that are without God42 judgeth. Therefore43 put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
