## 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 in Context (Verses 6–13 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/6) Your glorying *is* not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/8) Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened *bread* of sincerity and truth.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/9) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/10) Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/11) But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/5/13) But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
 
[1 Corinthians 4](/kjv/1-corinthians/4) [1 Corinthians 6](/kjv/1-corinthians/6)
