Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 5:5

_ _ Besides excommunication (of which the Corinthians themselves had the power), Paul delegates here to the Corinthian Church his own special power as an apostle, of inflicting corporeal disease or death in punishment for sin (“to deliver to Satan such an one,” that is, so heinous a sinner). For instances of this power, see Acts 5:1-11; Acts 13:11; 1 Timothy 1:20. As Satan receives power at times to try the godly, as Job (Job 2:4-7) and Paul (2 Corinthians 12:7; compare also as to Peter, Luke 22:31), much more the ungodly. Satan, the “accuser of the brethren” (Revelation 12:10) and the “adversary” (1 Peter 5:8), demands the sinner for punishment on account of sin (Zechariah 3:1). When God lets Satan have his way, He is said to “deliver the sinner unto Satan” (compare Psalms 109:6). Here it is not finally; but for the affliction of the body with disease, and even death (1 Corinthians 11:30, 1 Corinthians 11:32), so as to destroy fleshly lust. He does not say, “for the destruction of the body,” for it shall share in redemption (Romans 8:23); but of the corrupt “flesh” which “cannot inherit the kingdom of God,” and the lusts of which had prompted this offender to incest (Romans 7:5; Romans 8:9, Romans 8:10). The “destruction of the flesh” answers to “mortify the deeds of the body” (Romans 8:13), only that the latter is done by one’s self, the former is effected by chastisement from God (compare 1 Peter 4:6):

_ _ the spirit ... saved — the spiritual part of man, in the believer the organ of the Holy Spirit. Temporary affliction often leads to permanent salvation (Psalms 83:16).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 5:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 5:5

To deliver such an one — This was the highest degree of punishment in the Christian church; and we may observe, the passing this sentence was the act of the apostle, not of the Corinthians. To Satan — Who was usually permitted, in such cases, to inflict pain or sickness on the offender. For the destruction — Though slowly and gradually. Of the flesh — Unless prevented by speedy repentance.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 5:5

(5) To (c) deliver such an one unto Satan for the (6) destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

(5) The one who is excommunicated is delivered to the power of Satan, in that he is cast out of the house of God.

(c) What it is to be delivered to Satan the Lord himself declares when he says, "Let him be unto thee as a heathen and publican"; (Matthew 18:17). That is to say, to be disfranchised and put out of the right and privileges of the city of Christ, which is the Church, outside of which Satan is lord and master. (6) The goal of excommunication is not to cast away the excommunicate that he should utterly perish, but that he may be saved, that is, that by this means his flesh may be tamed, that he may learn to live to the Spirit.
