And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. 004:020 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 004:021 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness? 005:001 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father's wife. 005:002 You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you. 005:003 For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing. 005:004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 005:005 are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 005:006 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? 005:007 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place. 005:008 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 005:009 I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners; 005:010 yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world. 005:011 But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person. 005:012 For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don't you judge those who are within? 005:013 But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."{Deuteronomy 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21; 24:7} 006:001 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 006:002 Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 006:003 Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 006:004 If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly? 006:005 I say this to move you to shame. Isn't there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
