1 Corinthians 4:10 — 1 Corinthians 6:1
10 We are 1afools because of Christ, but you are bprudent in Christ; we are 2cweak, but you are strong; you are 3glorious, but we are ddishonored.
11 Until the present hour we both ahunger and thirst, and are naked and bbuffeted and wander without a home;
12 And we labor, aworking with our own bhands. Reviled we cbless; dpersecuted we endure;
13 1Defamed we 2exhort. We have become as the 3aoffscouring of the world, the 3scum of all things, until now.
14 It is not to ashame you that I write these things but to admonish you as my beloved bchildren.
15 For though you have ten thousand 1guides in Christ, yet you do not have many 2afathers; for bin Christ Jesus I have cbegotten you through the dgospel.
16 I 1exhort you therefore, Become aimitators of me.
17 Because of this I have sent aTimothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful bchild in the Lord, who will remind you of my 1ways which are in Christ, even as I teach 2everywhere in every cchurch.
18 Now some have become apuffed up as though I were not coming to you.
19 But I will acome to you shortly, if the Lord bwills, and I will ascertain not the speech of those who are puffed up but the power.
20 For the 1akingdom of God is not in speech but in bpower.
21 What do you want? Should I acome to you with a 1rod or in love and a 2bspirit of cmeekness?
CHAPTER 5
1 It is actually reported that there is 1afornication among you, and such fornication that does not even occur among the Gentiles, that someone has his 2bstepmother.
2 And you are apuffed up? And have you not rather bmourned, that the one who has done this deed might be 1cremoved from your midst?
3 For I, on my part, though being absent in the body but present 1in the aspirit, have already judged, as if being present, him who has thus done this,
4 1In the aname of our Lord Jesus, when you and 2my bspirit have been assembled, 1with the cpower of our Lord Jesus,
5 1To adeliver such a one to bSatan for the 2destruction of his 3flesh, 4that his spirit may be saved in the 5cday of the Lord.
6 Your 1aboasting is not good. Do you not know that a 2little 3bleaven leavens the whole lump?
7 Purge out the old leaven that you may be a 1new lump, even as you are unleavened; for our 2aPassover, Christ, also has been sacrificed.
8 So then let us akeep the 1feast, not with old bleaven, neither with the leaven of cmalice and evil, but with the dunleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote to you in my letter anot to 1mingle with fornicators,
10 But not altogether with the afornicators of this world, or with the covetous and rapacious, or idolaters, since then you would have to go bout of the world.
11 But now I have written to you not to mingle with anyone who is called a abrother, if he is a 1fornicator or a covetous man or an bidolater or a reviler or a drunkard or a rapacious man, with such a one cnot even to eat.
12 For what have I to do with judging those who are aoutside the church? Do you not bjudge those who are within the church?
13 But those who are outside, God will judge. 1aRemove the evil man from among yourselves.
CHAPTER 6
1 Does any one of you who has a 1case against another dare to be judged before the 2unrighteous and not before the saints?
