Thematic Bible



It is generally reported that there is lewdness among you; and such lewdness as is not even mentioned among the Gentiles that a certain one has his father's wife. And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken from among you. For I, in deed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already, as if I were present, judged him that has so done this thing; read more.
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you and my spirit have come together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we deliver such a one over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good; know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole mass? Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are without leaven; for Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

For I fear, lest when I come I shall find you not, such as I wish, and I shall be found by you not such as you wish: lest there shall be contentions, envies, excitements, strife, evil speaking, whisperings, party spirit, disorderly conduct: lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many of those who have already sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and lewdness and wantonness which they have committed.
