It's said there's unrivalled fornication 'mongst you!
One with his father's wife! And you're complacent too!
Though absent in body, I'm present in Spirit,
And I've judged the sinner in question: my verdict:
Cast him to satan - his flesh to have, though not soul -
Just a little leaven of sin affects the whole!
Replace old leaven with righteous unleavened bread -
Feast with Christ our passover Who died in our stead.
As I wrote you once, shun fornicators - you'll meet
All types in the world, but with such brethren don't eat!
Let God judge those outside, let's judge our own within,
Put away from yourselves that wicked man with sin.
