1 Korinther 5:4

4 im Namen unseres Herrn Jesus Christus (wenn ihr und mein Geist mit der Kraft unseres Herrn Jesus Christus versammelt seid)

1 Korinther 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 5:4

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
These words contain an account of the several things and circumstances, that should attend the awful act of the apostle, in delivering this man to Satan; it would be done "in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"; by his command, power, and authority, and for his glory; in whose name all miraculous actions, as this was one, were performed:

when ye are gathered together;
as a church, in a public manner, in one place; not to do this business, for this was purely apostolical; but to be witness of this wonderful operation, to acknowledge the justice of God in it, and that they might fear and take warning by it:

and my spirit;
meaning that though he was absent in body, he should be present in spirit; and that the extraordinary gift of the Spirit of God bestowed on him would be visibly exercised upon this man before them all, as if he himself was in the midst of them; and this not by any power of his own, but

with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ;
to which all such miraculous effects, as this hereafter related, are to be ascribed.

1 Korinther 5:4 In-Context

2 Und ihr seid aufgeblasen und habt nicht vielmehr Leid getragen, auf daß der, welcher diese Tat begangen hat, aus eurer Mitte hinweggetan würde.

3 Denn ich, zwar dem Leibe nach abwesend, aber im Geiste gegenwärtig, habe schon als gegenwärtig geurteilt, den, der dieses also verübt hat,

4 im Namen unseres Herrn Jesus Christus (wenn ihr und mein Geist mit der Kraft unseres Herrn Jesus Christus versammelt seid)

5 einen solchen dem Satan zu überliefern zum Verderben des Fleisches, auf daß der Geist errettet werde am Tage des Herrn Jesus.

6 Euer Rühmen ist nicht gut. Wisset ihr nicht, daß ein wenig Sauerteig die ganze Masse durchsäuert?
