Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 5:3

_ _ as absent — The best manuscripts read, “being absent.”

_ _ present in spirit — (2 Kings 5:26; Colossians 2:5).

_ _ so done — rather, “perpetrated,” as the Greek word here is stronger than that for “done” in 1 Corinthians 5:2. “So,” that is, so scandalously while called a brother.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 5:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 5:3

I verily, as present in spirit — Having a full (it seems, a miraculous) view of the whole fact. Have already, as if I were actually present, judged him who hath so scandalously done this.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 5:3

(3) For I verily, as absent in body, but present in (a) spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,

(3) Excommunication ought not to be committed to one man's power, but must be done by the authority of the whole congregation, after the matter is diligently examined.

(a) In mind, thought, and will.
