1 Corinthians 5:3-7 For although physically absent from you, I am truly present with you in spirit and have already judged the person who did this terrible thing, just as if I were there in person.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For although physically absent [from you], I am truly present with you in spirit and have already judged the person who did this [terrible] thing, just as if I were there [in person]. ⁴ [I command you], when you people are assembled together, with my spirit [also present], in the name [i.e., by the authority] and power of our Lord Jesus, ⁵ to turn such a person over to Satan for his body to be destroyed [Note: This probably refers to his removal from their fellowship. See verse 2], in order for his spirit to be saved in the day of the Lord [i.e., the judgment day]. [Note: This implies that his removal from their fellowship will have produced a genuine repentance before that time]. ⁶ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast can leaven the whole batch of dough? ⁷ Get rid of the old yeast [i.e., of sin, and especially the unrepentant sinner], so that you can be a new batch of dough, without yeast in it [i.e., a godly church without unrepentant sinners in it] as [I know] you really are. For our Passover [Lamb], Christ, has already been sacrificed.
