What does 1 Corinthians 5:4 Mean?

Verse Meaning

The apostle wanted the believers to view his ruling as the will of the Lord. He assured them that God would back it up with His power as they enforced the discipline. The phrase "in the name of the Lord Jesus" probably modifies "I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh" ( 1 Corinthians 5:5). [1] In passing the following judgment Paul was acting in Jesus" name, with His authority.
"The church"s refusal to act against the offender in 1 Corinthians 5:2 provides the most striking example of their arrogance and doubt that Paul would execute discipline ( 1 Corinthians 4:18). Here, therefore, he does execute discipline ( 1 Corinthians 5:5). They may doubt his "power" ( 1 Corinthians 4:19-21), but he acts by Jesus" power ( 1 Corinthians 5:4)." [2]

Context Summary

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 - Removing Germs Of Evil
The sin referred to in this chapter has been condoned by the Corinthian church, and this proved that the prevalent standard of morals was low. A man had married his father's second wife-his father having probably died. Such an alliance could not be tolerated. A condemnation of the sin must be pronounced by the whole body of believers, acting in concert with the Holy Spirit resident among them. "It seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us," Acts 15:28.
Paul compares the Corinthian church to the Children of Israel, who, after sprinkling the blood, kept the feast of joy within closed doors-a careful search having been made for any atom of leaven that had hitherto escaped scrutiny. So we should put away from our lives, homes, and churches everything that would offend the gracious Paraclete. Since Christ has been slain for us, we must daily feed on Him with festal joy. Our loins must be girded as becomes those about to depart at a moment's notice. We must be ever on the alert to detect the summons for an exodus out of this dark Egyptian world into the world that is to come. [source]
