Amplified Bible
3 For I, though absent [from you] in body but present in spirit, have already passed judgment on him who has committed this [act], as if I were present. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to [a]hand over this man to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
