Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 5

1 ολωσ ακουεται εν υμιν πορνεια και τοιαυτη πορνεια ητισ ουδε εν τοισ εθνεσιν ονομαζεται ωστε γυναικα τινα του πατροσ εχειν

There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles – a man, I hear, is living with his father’s wife!

2 και υμεισ πεφυσιωμενοι εστε και ουχι μαλλον επενθησατε ινα εξαρθη εκ μεσου υμων ο το εργον τουτο ποιησασ

Instead of grieving over it and taking steps for the expulsion of the man who has done this thing, is it possible that you are still puffed up?

3 εγω μεν γαρ ωσ απων τω σωματι παρων δε τω πνευματι ηδη κεκρικα ωσ παρων τον ουτωσ τουτο κατεργασαμενον

For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, on the man who has acted in this way.

4 εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου συναχθεντων υμων και του εμου πνευματοσ συν τη δυναμει του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

I have decided – having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us –

5 παραδουναι τον τοιουτον τω σατανα εισ ολεθρον τησ σαρκοσ ινα το πνευμα σωθη εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου

to deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the day of the Lord.

6 ου καλον το καυχημα υμων ουκ οιδατε οτι μικρα ζυμη ολον το φυραμα ζυμοι

Your boasting is unseemly. Don’t you know that even a little yeast leavens all the dough?

7 εκκαθαρατε την παλαιαν ζυμην ινα ητε νεον φυραμα καθωσ εστε αζυμοι και γαρ το πασχα ημων υπερ ημων ετυθη χριστοσ

Get rid entirely of the old leaven, so that you may be like new dough – free from leaven, as in truth you are. For our passover lamb is already sacrificed – Christ himself;

8 ωστε εορταζωμεν μη εν ζυμη παλαια μηδε εν ζυμη κακιασ και πονηριασ αλλ εν αζυμοισ ειλικρινειασ και αληθειασ

therefore let us keep our festival, not with the leaven of former days, nor with the leaven of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 εγραψα υμιν εν τη επιστολη μη συναναμιγνυσθαι πορνοισ

I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people –

10 και ου παντωσ τοισ πορνοισ του κοσμου τουτου η τοισ πλεονεκταισ η αρπαξιν η ειδωλολατραισ επει οφειλετε αρα εκ του κοσμου εξελθειν

not, of course, meaning people of the world who are in immoral, or who are covetous and grasping, or who worship idols; for then you would have to leave the world altogether.

11 νυν δε εγραψα υμιν μη συναναμιγνυσθαι εαν τισ αδελφοσ ονομαζομενοσ η πορνοσ η πλεονεκτησ η ειδωλολατρησ η λοιδοροσ η μεθυσοσ η αρπαξ τω τοιουτω μηδε συνεσθιειν

But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with anyone who, although a follower of Christ in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping – no, not even to sit down to eat with such people.

12 τι γαρ μοι και τουσ εξω κρινειν ουχι τουσ εσω υμεισ κρινετε

What have I to do with judging those outside the church? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the church,

13 τουσ δε εξω ο θεοσ κρινει και εξαρειτε τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

while God judges those who are outside? Put away the wicked from among you.
