f Your boasting is not good.

οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι μικρὰ ζύμη ὅλον τὸ φύραμα ζυμοῖ;
Cleanse out the old leaven
ἐκκαθάρατε τὴν παλαιὰν ζύμην,
that you may be a new lump,
ἵνα ἦτε νέον φύραμα,

καὶ γὰρ τὸ πάσχα ⸀ ἡμῶν ἐτύθη Χριστός·
Let us therefore celebrate the festival,
ὥστε ἑορτάζωμεν,
h not with the old leaven, i the leaven of malice and evil,
μὴ ἐν ζύμῃ παλαιᾷ μηδὲ ἐν ζύμῃ κακίας καὶ πονηρίας,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
ἀλλ ’ ἐν ἀζύμοις εἰλικρινείας καὶ ἀληθείας.

I wrote to you in my letter j not to associate with sexually immoral people—
Ἔγραψα ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ μὴ συναναμίγνυσθαι πόρνοις,
k not at all meaning l the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters,
⸀ οὐ πάντως τοῖς πόρνοις τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἢ τοῖς πλεονέκταις ⸀ καὶ ἅρπαξιν ἢ εἰδωλολάτραις,
m since then you would need to go out of the world.
ἐπεὶ ⸀ ὠφείλετε ἄρα ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελθεῖν.
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone n who bears the name of brother
νῦν δὲ ἔγραψα ὑμῖν μὴ συναναμίγνυσθαι
if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—
ἐάν τις ἀδελφὸς ὀνομαζόμενος ᾖ πόρνος ἢ πλεονέκτης ἢ εἰδωλολάτρης ἢ λοίδορος ἢ μέθυσος ἢ ἅρπαξ,
conditional
not even to eat with such a one.
τῷ τοιούτῳ μηδὲ συνεσθίειν.
For what have I to do with judging o outsiders?
τί γάρ ⸀ μοι τοὺς ἔξω κρίνειν;
p Is it not those inside the church 1 whom you are to judge?
οὐχὶ τοὺς ἔσω ὑμεῖς κρίνετε,
God judges 1 those outside.
τοὺς δὲ ἔξω ὁ θεὸς ⸀ κρίνει;
q “Purge the evil person from among you.”
⸀ ἐξάρατε τὸν πονηρὸν ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν.
