1 karinthinaḥ 5

1 aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhye vyabhicāro vidyate sa ca vyabhicārastādṛśo yad devapūjakānāṁ madhye'pi tattulyo na vidyate phalato yuṣmākameko jano vimātṛgamanaṁ kṛruta iti vārttā sarvvatra vyāptā|

There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles – a man, I hear, is living with his father’s wife!

2 tathāca yūyaṁ darpadhmātā ādhbe, tat karmma yena kṛtaṁ sa yathā yuṣmanmadhyād dūrīkriyate tathā śoko yuṣmābhi rna kriyate kim etat?

Instead of grieving over it and taking steps for the expulsion of the man who has done this thing, is it possible that you are still puffed up?

3 avidyamāne madīyaśarīre mamātmā yuṣmanmadhye vidyate ato'haṁ vidyamāna iva tatkarmmakāriṇo vicāraṁ niścitavān,

For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, on the man who has acted in this way.

4 asmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā yuṣmākaṁ madīyātmanaśca milane jāte 'smatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya śakteḥ sāhāyyena

I have decided – having been present in spirit at your meetings, when the power of the Lord Jesus was with us –

5 sa naraḥ śarīranāśārthamasmābhiḥ śayatāno haste samarpayitavyastato'smākaṁ prabho ryīśo rdivase tasyātmā rakṣāṁ gantuṁ śakṣyati|

to deliver such a man as this over to Satan, that what is sensual in him may be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved at the day of the Lord.

6 yuṣmākaṁ darpo na bhadrāya yūyaṁ kimetanna jānītha, yathā, vikāraḥ kṛtsnaśaktūnāṁ svalpakiṇvena jāyate|

Your boasting is unseemly. Don’t you know that even a little yeast leavens all the dough?

7 yūyaṁ yat navīnaśaktusvarūpā bhaveta tadarthaṁ purātanaṁ kiṇvam avamārjjata yato yuṣmābhiḥ kiṇvaśūnyai rbhavitavyaṁ| aparam asmākaṁ nistārotsavīyameṣaśāvako yaḥ khrīṣṭaḥ so'smadarthaṁ balīkṛto 'bhavat|

Get rid entirely of the old leaven, so that you may be like new dough – free from leaven, as in truth you are. For our passover lamb is already sacrificed – Christ himself;

8 ataḥ purātanakiṇvenārthato duṣṭatājighāṁsārūpeṇa kiṇvena tannahi kintu sāralyasatyatvarūpayā kiṇvaśūnyatayāsmābhirutsavaḥ karttavyaḥ|

therefore let us keep our festival, not with the leaven of former days, nor with the leaven of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 vyābhicāriṇāṁ saṁsargo yuṣmābhi rvihātavya iti mayā patre likhitaṁ|

I told you, in my letter, not to associate with immoral people –

10 kintvaihikalokānāṁ madhye ye vyabhicāriṇo lobhina upadrāviṇo devapūjakā vā teṣāṁ saṁsargaḥ sarvvathā vihātavya iti nahi, vihātavye sati yuṣmābhi rjagato nirgantavyameva|

not, of course, meaning people of the world who are in immoral, or who are covetous and grasping, or who worship idols; for then you would have to leave the world altogether.

11 kintu bhrātṛtvena vikhyātaḥ kaścijjano yadi vyabhicārī lobhī devapūjako nindako madyapa upadrāvī vā bhavet tarhi tādṛśena mānavena saha bhojanapāne'pi yuṣmābhi rna karttavye ityadhunā mayā likhitaṁ|

But, as things are, I say that you are not to associate with anyone who, although a follower of Christ in name, is immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or grasping – no, not even to sit down to eat with such people.

12 samājabahiḥsthitānāṁ lokānāṁ vicārakaraṇe mama ko'dhikāraḥ? kintu tadantargatānāṁ vicāraṇaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ na karttavyaṁ bhavet?

What have I to do with judging those outside the church? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the church,

13 bahiḥsthānāṁ tu vicāra īśvareṇa kāriṣyate| ato yuṣmābhiḥ sa pātakī svamadhyād bahiṣkriyatāṁ|

while God judges those who are outside? Put away the wicked from among you.
