1 Corinthians 11:30

1 Corinthians 11:30

28 But ^alet a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For he who eats and drinks¹ in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the² Lord’s body.

30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many¹ sleep.

31 For ^aif we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, ^awe are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when you ^acome together to eat, wait for one another.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

weak . . . sickly—He is "weak" who has naturally no strength: "sickly," who has lost his strength by disease [TITTMANN, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament].

sleep—are being lulled in death: not a violent death; but one the result of sickness, sent as the Lord's chastening for the individual's salvation, the mind being brought to a right state on the sick bed (I Corinthians 11:31).
