1 Corinzi 5:3

3 Quanto a me, assente di persona ma presente in ispirito, ho già giudicato, come se fossi presente, colui che ha perpetrato un tale atto.

1 Corinzi 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 Corinzi 5:3 In-Context

1 Si ode addirittura affermare che v’è tra voi fornicazione; e tale fornicazione, che non si trova neppure fra i Gentili; al punto che uno di voi si tiene la moglie di suo padre.

2 E siete gonfi, e non avete invece fatto cordoglio perché colui che ha commesso quell’azione fosse tolto di mezzo a voi!

3 Quanto a me, assente di persona ma presente in ispirito, ho già giudicato, come se fossi presente, colui che ha perpetrato un tale atto.

4 Nel nome del Signor Gesù, essendo insieme adunati voi e lo spirito mio, con la potestà del Signor nostro Gesù,

5 ho deciso che quel tale sia dato in man di Satana, a perdizione della carne, onde lo spirito sia salvo nel giorno del Signor Gesù.
