1 Corinthians 5:4
2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have been stricken with grief and have removed from your fellowship the man who did this?
3 Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,
5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
