1 Corinthians 5
1 Corinthians chapter 5 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 to take siche a man to Sathanas, in to the perischyng of fleisch, that the spirit be saaf in the dai of oure Lord Jhesu Crist. 2 Youre gloriyng is not good. Witen ye not, that a litil sourdow apeyrith al the gobet? 3 Clense ye out the old sourdow, that ye be new sprengyng togidere, as ye ben therf. For Crist offrid is oure pask. 4 Therfor ete we, not in eld sourdowy, nether in sourdowy of malice and weywardnesse, but in therf thingis of clernesse and of treuthe. 5 I wroot to you in a pistle, that ye be not medlid with letchours, 6 not with letchours of this world, ne coueitous men, ne raueynours, ne with men seruynge to mawmetis, ellis ye schulden haue go out of this world. 7 But now Y wroot to you, that ye be not meynd. But if he that is named a brother among you, and is a letchour, or coueitouse, or seruynge to ydols, or cursere, or ful of drunkenesse, or raueynour, to take no mete with siche. 8 For what is it to me to deme of hem that ben with oute forth? Whether ye demen not of thingis that ben with ynne forth? 9 For God schal deme hem that ben withouten forth. Do ye awei yuel fro you silf. 11 Dar any of you that hath a cause ayens another, be demed at wickid men, and not at hooli men? 12 Whether ye witen not, that seyntis schulen deme of this world? And if the world schal be demed bi you, be ye vnworthi to deme of the leste thingis? 13 Witen ye not, that we schulen deme aungels? hou myche more worldli thingis?
