Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? ###### 7 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: ###### 8 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ###### 9 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: ###### 10 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. ###### 11 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. ###### 12 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? ###### 13 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
