³ For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.^(A) As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus^(B) on the one who has been doing this. ⁴ So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, ⁵ hand this man over^(C) to Satan^(D) for the destruction of the flesh,^[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.^(E)

¹³ God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”^[a](A)

²⁰ Among them are Hymenaeus^(A) and Alexander,^(B) whom I have handed over to Satan^(C) to be taught not to blaspheme.
