New Testament

1 Corinthians 5

1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father's wife!

ολως ακουεται εν υμιν πορνεια, και τοιαυτη πορνεια, ητις ουδε εν τοις εθνεσιν ονομαζεται, ωστε γυναικα τινα του πατρος εχειν.

2And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

και υμεις πεφυσιωμενοι εστε, και ουχι μαλλον επενθησατε, ινα εξαρθη εκ μεσου υμων ο το εργον τουτο ποιησας!

3For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.

εγω μεν γαρ ως απων τω σωματι, παρων δε τω πνευματι, ηδη κεκρικα ως παρων τον ουτως τουτο κατεργασαμενον,

4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

5deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

παραδουναι τον τοιουτον τω σατανα εις ολεθρον της σαρκος, ινα το πνευμα σωθη εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου.

6Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

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

7Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

εκκαθαρατε [ουν] την παλαιαν ζυμην, ινα ητε νεον φυραμα, καθως εστε αζυμοι. και γαρ το πασχα ημων υπερ ημων ετυθη χριστος·

8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

ωστε εορταζωμεν μη εν ζυμη παλαια, μηδε εν ζυμη κακιας και πονηριας, αλλ εν αζυμοις ειλικρινειας και αληθειας.

9I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

εγραψα υμιν εν τη επιστολη μη συναναμιγνυσθαι πορνοις,

10Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

και ου παντως τοις πορνοις του κοσμου τουτου η τοις πλεονεκταις η αρπαξιν η ειδωλολατραις· επει οφειλετε αρα εκ του κοσμου εξελθειν·

11But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

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.

12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

τι γαρ μοι και τους εξω κρινειν; ουχι τους εσω υμεις κρινετε;

13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore 'put away from yourselves the evil person.'

τους δε εξω ο θεος κρινει. και εξαρειτε τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων.
