| 5:1 | There goeth a commen sayinge that ther is fornicacion amonge you, and soch fornicacyon, as is not named amonge the gentyls: that one shuld haue hys fathers wyfe. |
| 5:2 | And ye swell, and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done thys dede, myght be put from amonge you. |
| 5:3 | For I verely as absent in body, but present in sprete, haue determined allready (as though I were present) concernynge hym that hath done this dede, |
| 5:4 | in the name of oure Lord Iesu Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my sprete wt you, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Chryst |
| 5:5 | to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus. |
| 5:6 | Youre reioysynge is not good: knowe ye not, that a lytle leuen sowreth the whole lompe of dowe? |
| 5:7 | Pourge therfore the olde leuen that ye maye be newe dowe, as ye are swete breed. For Christ oure passeouer is offered vp for vs. |
| 5:8 | Therfore, let vs kepe holy daye, not with olde leuen, nether with the leuen of malicyousnes & wickednes: but with the swete breed of purenes and trueth. |
| 5:9 | I wrote vnto you in a pistle, that ye shuld not company wyth fornicatours. |
| 5:10 | And I meant not at all of the fornicatours of this world, ether of the coueteous, or extorsyoners, ether the ydolaters: for then must ye nedes haue gone out of the world. |
| 5:11 | But now I dyd write vnto you, that ye company not together, yf eny that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or coueteous, or a worshypper of ymages, ether a raylar, ether a dronckard, or an extorcionar: wyth hym that is soche, se that ye eate not. |
| 5:12 | For what haue I to do, to iudge them which are without. Do ye not iudge them that are within? |
| 5:13 | Them that are without, God iudgeth. Put awaye the euell from amonge you. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
