1 Corinthians 5
He excommunicates the incestuous adulterer and admonishes them to purge out the old leaven.
Omnino auditur inter vos fornicatio, et talis fornicatio, qualis nec inter gentes, ita ut uxorem patris sui aliquis habeat.
It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father's wife.
Et vos inflati estis: et non magis luctum habuistis ut tollatur de medio vestrum qui hoc opus fecit.
And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this thing.
Ego quidem absens corpore, præsens autem spiritu, jam judicavi ut præsens eum, qui sic operatus est,
I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,
in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, congregatis vobis et meo spiritu, cum virtute Domini nostri Jesu,
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus:
tradere hujusmodi Satanæ in interitum carnis, ut spiritus salvus sit in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Non est bona gloriatio vestra. Nescitis quia modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpit?
Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?
Expurgate vetus fermentum, ut sitis nova conspersio, sicut estis azymi. Etenim Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus.
Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.
Itaque epulemur: non in fermento veteri, neque in fermento malitiæ et nequitiæ: sed in azymis sinceritatis et veritatis.
Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Scripsi vobis in epistola: Ne commisceamini fornicariis:
I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.
non utique fornicariis hujus mundi, aut avaris, aut rapacibus, aut idolis servientibus: alioquin debueratis de hoc mundo exiisse.
I mean not with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or the extortioners or the servers of idols: otherwise you must needs go out of this world.
Nunc autem scripsi vobis non commisceri: si is qui frater nominatur, est fornicator, aut avarus, aut idolis serviens, aut maledicus, aut ebriosus, aut rapax, cum ejusmodi nec cibum sumere.
But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator or covetous or a server of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.
Quid enim mihi de iis qui foris sunt, judicare? nonne de iis qui intus sunt, vos judicatis?
For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?
nam eos qui foris sunt, Deus judicabit. Auferte malum ex vobis ipsis.
For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.
