1 Corintios 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 Corintios 5:4 In-Context

2 ¡Y de esto se sienten orgullosos! ¿No debieran, más bien, haber lamentado lo sucedido y expulsado de entre ustedes al que hizo tal cosa?
3 Yo, por mi parte, aunque no estoy físicamente entre ustedes, sí estoy presente en espíritu, y ya he juzgado, como si estuviera presente, al que cometió este pecado.
4 Cuando se reúnan en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús, y con su poder yo los acompañe en espíritu,
5 entreguen a este hombre a Satanás para destrucción de su naturaleza pecaminosa a fin de que su espíritu sea salvo en el día del Señor.
6 Hacen mal en jactarse. ¿No se dan cuenta de que un poco de levadura hace fermentar toda la masa?
