Old Testament

The Second Book of Samuel: Chapter 22:32-51

"For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?

God is my strength and power,
And He makes my way perfect.

He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my high places.

He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

"You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.

You enlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.

"I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

And I have destroyed them and wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.

For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose against me.

You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.

They looked, but there was none to save;
Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;
I trod them like dirt in the streets,
And I spread them out.

"You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people;
You have kept me as the head of the nations.
A people I have not known shall serve me.

The foreigners submit to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.

The foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.

"The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let God be exalted,
The Rock of my salvation!

It is God who avenges me,
And subdues the peoples under me;

He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.

Therefore I will give thanks to You,
O Lord, among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.

"He is the tower of salvation to His king,
And shows mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forevermore."

New Testament

The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians: Chapter 5:1-9-13

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
