- 105 - To the Corinthians Paul writes: I Corinthians 5: 3: ‘Though absent in body, I am with you in spirit, and I have already passed judgment on this person who has offended so greatly as though I were there with you.’ Similarly, he writes to the Colossians: Colossians 2: 5: ‘Though I am far away in body, my spirit is with you, and it is with joy that I see your steadfastness in battle and the solid bastion of your faith.’ From these last two passages we see that Paul’s spirit could leave his body and be present at events that occurred in distant places.
