darby
 
1.    It is universally reported that there is fornication among  you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations,  so that one should have his father`s wife.
 
2.    And ye are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in  order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out  of the midst of you.
 
3.    For I, as absent in body but present in spirit, have  already judged as present,
 
4.    to deliver, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and  my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord  Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:
 
5.    to deliver him, I say, being such, to Satan for  destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the  day of the Lord Jesus.
 
6.    Your boasting is not good. Do ye not know that a little  leaven leavens the whole lump?
 
7.    Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump,  according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ,  has been sacrificed;
 
8.    so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor  with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened  bread of sincerity and truth.
 
9.    I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with  fornicators;
 
10.    not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with  the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since then ye  should go out of the world.
 
11.    But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be  fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a  drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with him; with such a one  not even to eat.
 
12.    For what have I to do with judging those outside also?  ye, do not ye judge them that are within?
 
13.    But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from  amongst yourselves.
