What do you think of 1 Corinthians 5:5?I don't see how your spirit can be saved.Being life force.
Frank.....you need to stop plucking a verse out of the air as though just one verse can undo all of what the Bible teaches on a subject.
Read all of ch 5 and see that Paul is recommending the removal of an immoral man so that the spirit of the congregation can be preserved. Allowing that man to stay was forcing God's spirit to depart from the rest of the congregation.
Paul goes on to say...(Vs 6-7; 11-13)
"Do you not know that a little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough? 7 Clear away the old leaven so that you may be a new batch, inasmuch as you are free from ferment.....
But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.”
The recommendation is clear....the man should be removed until he repents. No one should associate with him.

Paul wasn't in Corinth until about 44 AD.
Ancient Corinth - Wikipedia
In 146 BC, Rome declared war on the Achaean League and, after victories over league forces in the summer of that year, the Romans under Lucius Mummius besieged and captured Corinth. When he entered the city, Mummius killed all the men and sold the women and children into slavery before burning the city, for which he was given the cognomen Achaicus as the conqueror of the Achaean League.[50]
There is archeological evidence of some minimal habitation in the years afterwards, but Corinth remained largely deserted until Julius Caesar refounded the city as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis (‘colony of Corinth in honour of Julius’) in 44 BC, shortly before his assassination. At this time, an amphitheatre was built.
