1 Corinthians 5:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Even though I am not right there with you, I am with you in spirit. And because I am with you in spirit, I have already judged the man doing this. I have judged him in the name of our Lord Jesus. ⁴ So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you. ⁵ When you come together like this, hand this man over to Satan. Then the power of sin in his life will be destroyed. His spirit will be saved on the day the Lord returns.
