1 Korinther 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 Korinther 5:3 In-Context

1 Es geht eine gemeine Rede, daß Hurerei unter euch ist, und eine solche Hurerei, davon auch die Heiden nicht zu sagen wissen: daß einer seines Vaters Weib habe.
2 Und ihr seid aufgeblasen und habt nicht vielmehr Leid getragen, auf daß, der das Werk getan hat, von euch getan würde?
3 Ich zwar, der ich mit dem Leibe nicht da bin, doch mit dem Geist gegenwärtig, habe schon, als sei ich gegenwärtig, beschlossen über den, der solches getan hat:
4 in dem Namen unsers HERRN Jesu Christi, in eurer Versammlung mit meinem Geist und mit der Kraft unsers HERRN Jesu Christi,
5 ihn zu übergeben dem Satan zum Verderben des Fleisches, auf daß der Geist selig werde am Tage des HERRN Jesu.
