WEB·1 Corinthians 5

¹It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

KJVIt is reported^G191^(G5743) commonly^G3654 that there is fornication^G4202 among^G1722 you^G5213, and^G2532 such^G5108 fornication^G4202 as^G3748 is^G3687 not so much^G3761 as named^G3687^(G5743) among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484, that^G5620 one^G5100 should have^G2192^(G5721) his father's^G3962 wife^G1135.

² You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

KJVAnd^G2532 ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) puffed up^G5448^(G5772), and^G2532 have^G3996 not^G3780 rather^G3123 mourned^G3996^(G5656), that^G2443 he that hath done^G4160^(G5660) this^G5124 deed^G2041 might be taken away^G1808^(G5686) from^G1537 among^G3319 you^G5216.

³ For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

KJVFor^G1063 I^G1473 verily^G3303, as^G5613 absent^G548^(G5752) in body^G4983, but^G1161 present^G3918^(G5752) in spirit^G4151, have judged^G2919^(G5758) already^G2235, as^G5613 though I were present^G3918^(G5752), concerning him that hath^G2716 so^G3779 done^G2716^(G5666) this deed^G5124,

⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVIn^G1722 the name^G3686 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, when ye^G5216 are gathered together^G4863^(G5685), and^G2532 my^G1699 spirit^G4151, with^G4862 the power^G1411 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547,

⁵ you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

KJVTo deliver^G3860^(G5629) such an one^G5108 unto Satan^G4567 for^G1519 the destruction^G3639 of the flesh^G4561, that^G2443 the spirit^G4151 may be saved^G4982^(G5686) in^G1722 the day^G2250 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

KJVYour^G5216 glorying^G2745 is not^G3756 good^G2570. Know ye^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 that^G3754 a little^G3398 leaven^G2219 leaveneth^G2220^(G5719) the whole^G3650 lump^G5445?

⁷ Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

KJVPurge out^G1571^(G5657) therefore^G3767 the old^G3820 leaven^G2219, that^G2443 ye may be^G5600^(G5753) a new^G3501 lump^G5445, as^G2531 ye are^G2075^(G5748) unleavened^G106. For^G1063 even^G2532 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 passover^G3957 is sacrificed^G2380^(G5681) for^G5228 us^G2257:

⁸ Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

KJVTherefore^G5620 let us keep the feast^G1858^(G5725), not^G3361 with^G1722 old^G3820 leaven^G2219, neither^G3366 with^G1722 the leaven^G2219 of malice^G2549 and^G2532 wickedness^G4189; but^G235 with^G1722 the unleavened^G106 bread of sincerity^G1505 and^G2532 truth^G225.

⁹ I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

KJVI wrote^G1125^(G5656) unto you^G5213 in^G1722 an epistle^G1992 not^G3361 to company^G4874^(G5733) with fornicators^G4205:

¹⁰ yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world.

KJVYet^G2532 not^G3756 altogether^G3843 with the fornicators^G4205 of this^G5127 world^G2889, or^G2228 with the covetous^G4123, or^G2228 extortioners^G727, or^G2228 with idolaters^G1496; for^G1893 then^G686 must ye needs^G3784^(G5719) go^G1831^(G5629) out of^G1537 the world^G2889.

¹¹ But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 I have written^G1125^(G5656) unto you^G5213 not^G3361 to keep company^G4874^(G5733), if^G1437 any man^G5100 that is called^G3687^(G5746) a brother^G80 be^G2228 a fornicator^G4205, or^G2228 covetous^G4123, or^G2228 an idolater^G1496, or^G2228 a railer^G3060, or^G2228 a drunkard^G3183, or^G2228 an extortioner^G727; with such an one^G5108 no not^G3366 to eat^G4906^(G5721).

¹² For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

KJVFor^G1063 what^G5101 have I^G3427 to do to judge^G2919^(G5721) them also^G2532 that are without^G1854? do^G2919 not^G3780 ye^G5210 judge^G2919^(G5719) them that are within^G2080?

¹³ But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

KJVBut^G1161 them that are without^G1854 God^G2316 judgeth^G2919^(G5692). Therefore^G2532 put away^G1808^(G5692) from^G1537 among yourselves^G5216 that^G846 wicked person^G4190.

WEB·1 Corinthians 4

¹So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

KJVLet^G3049 a man^G444 so^G3779 account^G3049^(G5737) of us^G2248, as^G5613 of the ministers^G5257 of Christ^G5547, and^G2532 stewards^G3623 of the mysteries^G3466 of God^G2316.

² Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

KJV^G3739^G1161 Moreover^G3063 it is required^G2212^(G5743) in^G1722 stewards^G3623, that^G2443 a man^G5100 be found^G2147^(G5686) faithful^G4103.

³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.

KJVBut^G1161 with me^G1698 it is^G2076^(G5748) a very small thing^G1519^G1646 that^G2443 I should be judged^G350^(G5686) of^G5259 you^G5216, or^G2228 of^G5259 man's^G442 judgment^G2250: yea^G235, I judge^G350^(G5719) not^G3761 mine own self^G1683.

⁴ For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

KJVFor^G1063 I know^G4894^(G5758) nothing^G3762 by myself^G1683; yet^G235 am I^G1344 not^G3756 hereby^G1722^G5129 justified^G1344^(G5769): but^G1161 he that judgeth^G350^(G5723) me^G3165 is^G2076^(G5748) the Lord^G2962.

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

KJVTherefore^G5620 judge^G2919^(G5720) nothing^G3361^G5100 before^G4253 the time^G2540, until^G2193^G302 the Lord^G2962 come^G2064^(G5632), who^G3739 both^G2532 will bring to light^G5461^(G5692) the hidden things^G2927 of darkness^G4655, and^G2532 will make manifest^G5319^(G5692) the counsels^G1012 of the hearts^G2588: and^G2532 then^G5119 shall every man^G1538 have^G1096^(G5695) praise^G1868 of^G575 God^G2316.

⁶ Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

KJVAnd^G1161 these things^G5023, brethren^G80, I have in a figure transferred^G3345^(G5656) to^G1519 myself^G1683 and^G2532 to Apollos^G625 for^G1223 your sakes^G5209; that^G2443 ye might learn^G3129^(G5632) in^G1722 us^G2254 not^G3361 to think^G5426^(G5721) of men above^G5228 that^G2443 which^G3739 is written^G1125^(G5769), that no^G3363 one^G1520 of you be puffed up^G5448^(G5747) for^G5228 one^G1520 against^G2596 another^G2087.

⁷ For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

KJVFor^G1063 who^G5101 maketh^G1252 thee^G4571 to differ^G1252^(G5719) from another? and^G1161 what^G5101 hast thou^G2192^(G5719) that^G3739 thou didst^G2983 not^G3756 receive^G2983^(G5627)?^G1161 now if^G1499 thou didst receive^G2983^(G5627) it, why^G5101 dost thou glory^G2744^(G5736), as^G5613 if thou hadst^G2983 not^G3361 received^G2983^(G5631) it?

⁸ You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

KJVNow^G2235 ye are^G2075^(G5748) full^G2880^(G5772), now^G2235 ye are rich^G4147^(G5656), ye have reigned as kings^G936^(G5656) without^G5565 us^G2257: and^G2532 I would to God^G3785^G1065 ye did reign^G936^(G5656), that^G2443 we^G2249 also^G2532 might reign with^G4821^(G5661) you^G5213.

⁹ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

KJVFor^G1063 I think^G1380^(G5719) that^G3754 God^G2316 hath set forth^G584^(G5656) us^G2248 the apostles^G652 last^G2078, as^G5613 it were appointed to death^G1935: for^G3754 we are made^G1096^(G5675) a spectacle^G2302 unto the world^G2889, and^G2532 to angels^G32, and^G2532 to men^G444.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

KJVWe^G2249 are fools^G3474 for^G1223 Christ's^G5547 sake^G1223, but^G1161 ye^G5210 are wise^G5429 in^G1722 Christ^G5547; we^G2249 are weak^G772, but^G1161 ye^G5210 are strong^G2478; ye^G5210 are honourable^G1741, but^G1161 we^G2249 are despised^G820.

¹¹ Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

KJVEven^G891 unto this present^G737 hour^G5610 we^G3983 both^G2532 hunger^G3983^(G5719), and^G2532 thirst^G1372^(G5725), and^G2532 are naked^G1130^(G5719), and^G2532 are buffeted^G2852^(G5743), and^G2532 have no certain dwellingplace^G790^(G5719);

¹² We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

KJVAnd^G2532 labour^G2872^(G5719), working^G2038^(G5740) with our own^G2398 hands^G5495: being reviled^G3058^(G5746), we bless^G2127^(G5719); being persecuted^G1377^(G5746), we suffer it^G430^(G5736):

¹³ Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

KJVBeing defamed^G987^(G5746), we intreat^G3870^(G5719): we are made^G1096^(G5675) as^G5613 the filth^G4027 of the world^G2889, and are the offscouring^G4067 of all things^G3956 unto^G2193 this day^G737.

¹⁴ I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

KJVI write^G1125^(G5719) not^G3756 these things^G5023 to shame^G1788^(G5723) you^G5209, but^G235 as^G5613 my^G3450 beloved^G27 sons^G5043 I warn^G3560^(G5719) you.

¹⁵ For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

KJVFor^G1063 though^G1437 ye have^G2192^(G5725) ten thousand^G3463 instructors^G3807 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, yet^G235 have ye not^G3756 many^G4183 fathers^G3962: for^G1063 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 I^G1473 have begotten^G1080^(G5656) you^G5209 through^G1223 the gospel^G2098.

¹⁶ I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

KJVWherefore^G3767 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, be ye^G1096^(G5737) followers^G3402 of me^G3450.

¹⁷ Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

KJVFor^G1223 this^G5124 cause^G1223 have I sent^G3992^(G5656) unto you^G5213 Timotheus^G5095, who^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 beloved^G27 son^G5043, and^G2532 faithful^G4103 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, who^G3739 shall bring^G363 you^G5209 into remembrance^G363^(G5692) of my^G3450 ways^G3598 which^G3588 be in^G1722 Christ^G5547, as^G2531 I teach^G1321^(G5719) every where^G3837 in^G1722 every^G3956 church^G1577.

¹⁸ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

KJVNow^G1161 some^G5100 are puffed up^G5448^(G5681), as though^G5613 I^G3450 would^G2064 not^G3361 come^G2064^(G5740) to^G4314 you^G5209.

¹⁹ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

KJVBut^G1161 I will come^G2064^(G5695) to^G4314 you^G5209 shortly^G5030, if^G1437 the Lord^G2962 will^G2309^(G5661), and^G2532 will know^G1097^(G5695), not^G3756 the speech^G3056 of them which are puffed up^G5448^(G5772), but^G235 the power^G1411.

²⁰ For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.

KJVFor^G1063 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is not^G3756 in^G1722 word^G3056, but^G235 in^G1722 power^G1411.

²¹ What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

KJVWhat^G5101 will ye^G2309^(G5719)? shall I come^G2064^(G5632) unto^G4314 you^G5209 with^G1722 a rod^G4464, or^G2228 in^G1722 love^G26, and^G5037 in the spirit^G4151 of meekness^G4236?
