Someone posted this in another thread about poor translations:

We were dealing with the consequences of one inconsistency in your worldview foundation."
I couldn't find anything on this. Can someone explain? I quickly compared the ESV and NIV and see little difference:
NIV: hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
ESV: you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
