1 Coríntios 5:3

3 Eu, na verdade, ainda que ausente no corpo, mas presente no espírito, já julguei, como se estivesse presente, aquele que cometeu este ultraje.

1 Coríntios 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 5:3

For I verily, as absent in body
As he really was, being now at Philippi, if any dependence is to be had upon the subscription of this epistle; or rather at Ephesus; however, wherever he was, it is certain he was not at Corinth:

but present in spirit;
in his affection to them, care of them, and concern for their good, and the glory of God:

have judged already;
he had considered of the matter, thought very deliberately about it, and was now come to a point, to a determination concerning it, what to do in it:

as though I were present;
upon the spot, in person, to do what he had resolved upon:

to him that hath so done this deed;
this infamous one, and in so scandalous a manner, and which was continued in: what that was which the apostle, upon mature deliberation and judgment, determined to do with this wicked man, is expressed in ( 1 Corinthians 5:5 ) which is to be connected with this, the whole fourth verse being to be read in a parenthesis, and that was to deliver him to Satan.

1 Coríntios 5:3 In-Context

1 para que a recebais no Senhor, de um modo digno dos santos, imoralidade que nem mesmo entre os gentios se vê, a ponto de haver quem vive com a mulher de seu pai.

2 E vós estais inchados? e nem ao menos pranteastes para que fosse tirado do vosso meio quem praticou esse mal?

3 Eu, na verdade, ainda que ausente no corpo, mas presente no espírito, já julguei, como se estivesse presente, aquele que cometeu este ultraje.

4 Em nome de nosso Senhor Jesus, congregados vós e o meu espírito, pelo poder de nosso Senhor Jesus,

5 seja entregue a Satanás para destruição da carne, para que o espírito seja salvo no dia do Senhor Jesus.
