4. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —By His authority and as representing His person and will ( 2 Corinthians 2:10 ). Join this with "to deliver such a one unto Satan" ( 2 Corinthians 2:10- : ). The clause, "When ye have been gathered together and my spirit (wherein I am 'present,' though 'absent in body,' 2 Corinthians 2:10- : ), with the power of our Lord Jesus," stands in a parenthesis between. Paul speaking of himself uses the word "spirit"; of Christ, "power." Christ's power was promised to be present with HIS Church "gathered together in His name" ( 2 Corinthians 2:10- : ): and here Paul by inspiration gives a special promise of his apostolic spirit, which in such cases was guided by the Holy Spirit, ratifying their decree passed according to his judgment ("I have judged," 2 Corinthians 2:10- : ), as though he were present in person ( John 20:21-23 ; 2 Corinthians 13:3-10 ). This power of infallible judgment was limited to the apostles; for they alone had the power of working miracles as their credentials to attest their infallibility. Their successors, to establish their claim to the latter, must produce the former ( 2 Corinthians 13:3-47.13.10- : ). Even the apostles in ordinary cases, and where not specially and consciously inspired, were fallible ( Acts 8:13 ; Acts 8:23 ; Galatians 2:11-14 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
