For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,

For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
