1 Corinthiens 5:4

4 (Au nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, vous et mon esprit étant assemblés, avec la puissance de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ,)

1 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 5:4 In-Context

2 Et vous êtes enflés d'orgueil! Et vous n'avez pas, au contraire, été dans l'affliction, afin que celui qui a commis cette action fût retranché du milieu de vous?

3 Pour moi, absent de corps, mais présent d'esprit, j'ai déjà jugé, comme si j'étais présent, celui qui a commis une telle action:

4 (Au nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, vous et mon esprit étant assemblés, avec la puissance de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ,)

5 Qu'un tel homme soit livré à Satan, pour la destruction de la chair, afin que l'esprit soit sauvé au jour du Seigneur Jésus.

6 Il ne vous sied pas de vous glorifier. Ne savez-vous pas qu'un peu de levain fait lever toute la pâte?
