¹Zvinonzwikwa chose kuti upombwe hwuripo pakati penyu, uye upombwe hwakadaro hwusingataurwi kunyange pakati pevahedheni, hwokuti mumwe ave nemukadzi wababa vake.

¹It 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.

²Asi imwi munozvikudza, uye pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo hamuna kuchema, kuti uyo wakaita chiito ichi abviswe pakati penyu?

²And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

³Nekuti ini zvirokwazvo, sendisipo pamuviri, asi ndiripo pamweya, ndatotonga uyo wakaita chiito ichi sendinenge ndiripo,

³For 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,

⁴Muzita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, maungana pamwe nemweya wangu nesimba raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

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

⁵kukumikidza wakadai kuna Satani kuti nyama yake iparadzwe, kuti mweya uponeswe pazuva raIshe Jesu.

⁵To 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.

⁶Kuzvikudza kwenyu hakuna kunaka. Hamuzivi here kuti mbiriso shoma inovirisa bundu rose?

⁶Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

⁷Naizvozvo bvisai mbiriso yekare, kuti muve bundu idzva, sezvamusina kuviriswa. Nekuti nepasika yedu yakabayirwa isu, iye Kristu;

⁷Purge 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:

⁸saka ngatichengetedze mutambo, kwete nembiriso yekare, kana nembiriso yekuipa nekutadza; asi nechingwa chisina kuviriswa chakatendeka nechokwadi.

⁸Therefore 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.

⁹Ndakakunyorerai mutsamba, kuti musafambidzana nemhombwe;

⁹I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

¹⁰asi kwete zvakazara nemhombwe dzenyika ino, kana nevachivi, kana makororo, kana vanonamata zvifananidzo, nekuti kana zvakadaro zvingafanira kuti mubude munyika.

¹⁰Yet 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.

¹¹Asi ikozvino ndakunyorerai kuti murege kufambidzana, kana munhu achiidzwa hama ari mhombwe, kana muchivi kana munamati wezvifananidzo kana munyombi kana chidhakwa kana gororo; musatongodya newakadai.

¹¹But 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.

¹²Nekuti ini ndinei pakutongawo vari kunze? Imwi hamutongi vari mukati here?

¹²For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

¹³Asi avo vari kunze Mwari unovatonga. Naizvozvo bvisai pakati penyu munhu uyo wakaipa.

¹³But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
