1 Corinthians / Question
Question source
1 Corinthians
Paul rebukes the church for tolerating a case of sexual immorality and says the offender should be removed from among them (1 Corinthians 5:1–2). He describes a gathered decision “to deliver this man to Satan” for the destruction of the flesh, with the stated aim that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord (1 Corinthians 5:4–5).
1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father`s wife.
2You are puffed up, and didn`t rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.
3For I most assuredly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.
4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
