apuffed up? And have you not rather
bmourned, that the one who has done this deed might be
1cremoved from your midst?

1in the

aname of our Lord Jesus, when you and
2my bspirit have been assembled, with the
cpower of our Lord Jesus,

1new lump, even as you are unleavened; for our

1mingle with fornicators,

cnot even to eat.
