Excerpt

1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up , and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 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 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 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators : 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 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 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without ? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. GR sexual immorality. TG Sexual Immorality . Alma 5:53 (53–56) ; 6:3 . GR as it were.
