1 Corintios 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 Corintios 5:3 In-Context

1 En efecto, se oye que entre vosotros hay inmoralidad, y una inmoralidad tal como no existe ni siquiera entre los gentiles, al extremo de que alguno tiene la mujer de su padre.

2 Y os habéis vuelto arrogantes en lugar de haberos entristecido, para que el que de entre vosotros ha cometido esta acción fuera expulsado de en medio de vosotros.

3 Pues yo, por mi parte, aunque ausente en cuerpo pero presente en espíritu, como si estuviera presente, ya he juzgado al que cometió tal acción.

4 En el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús, cuando vosotros estéis reunidos, y yo con vosotros en espíritu, con el poder de nuestro Señor Jesús,

5 entregad a ese tal a Satanás para la destrucción de su carne, a fin de que su espíritu sea salvo en el día del Señor Jesús.
