Of which men who have made shipwreck of a good conscience and concerning faith,
are two persons. Of Hymenaeus we read, 2Ti 2:17,18; he affirmed the resurrection was past, and overthrew the faith of many. Of Alexander we read, 2Ti 4:14; he was a great enemy to Paul, the same person, as some judge, mentioned Act 19:33, then a friend to Paul, but afterwards one who did him much harm.
we meet with the same phrase, 1Co 5:5: see the notes there. Some think by it is signified a peculiar power granted the apostles, God in those primitive times confirming regular excommunications, by letting Satan loose upon persons excommunicated to torture them; but we find nothing of this in Scripture. I rather think the sense is no more than, whom I excommunicated and cast out of the church, making them of the world again, (as the world is opposed to the church, and kingdom of Christ), which, for the greater terror, the apostle expresseth by this notion of being delivered to Satan, who is called the god of this world, & c.
