Part 4

46:004:013 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

46:004:014 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

46:004:015 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

46:004:016 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

46:004:017 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

46:004:018 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

46:004:019 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

46:004:020 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

46:004:021 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

46:005:001 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.

46:005:002 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

46:005:003 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,

46:005:004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

46:005:005 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.

46:005:006 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

46:005:007 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:

46:005:008 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.

46:005:009 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

46:005:010 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.

46:005:011 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.

46:005:012 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

46:005:013 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

46:006:001 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

46:006:002 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

46:006:003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

46:006:004 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

46:006:005 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

46:006:006 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
