1 Corinthians 5:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]For I verily as absent in body, but present in [b]spirit, have determined already as though I were present, that he that hath thus done this thing,
4 When ye are gathered together, and my spirit, in the [c]Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that such one, I say, [d]by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 [e]Be [f]delivered unto Satan, for the [g]destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
