Bible Note: Hello again eascusa As to question 2. In 1 Corinthians Ch 5 Paul is writing concerning how discipline should be carried out in the local church. The person who has sinned in this chapter is a person who was in the fellowship of the local church - a place of privilege and protection. Because of the severe nature of the sin committed, he is to be excommunicated from that fellowship - see v13 "put away from among yourselves that wicked person". Now, in putting such a person away from the church I believe they are "delivering him unto Satan" in the sense that he is put out into the sphere where Satan has control - i.e. the world. God who judges those who are without (see v13) uses even the attacks of Satan to discipline his people in order that they be restored to fellowhip first with God Himself and then with the church. So, what is intended result from this discipline? The answer is "for the destruction of the flesh" i.e. So that the fleshly nature which has so taken over the life of this believer might be nullified in its power over him. And "the spirit saved in the day of the Lord Jesus" i.e. That his spiritual life might be recovered in view of the Judgment seat of Christ. Again hope this is helpful. In Him David PS. I should note that the translation I have used is the KJV. |
