31 But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.

1 Corinthians 11:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:31

For if we would judge ourselves
Examine, try, and prove ourselves as above directed, before we eat and drink; or condemn ourselves, by confessing, acknowledging, and mourning over sin, and by repentance for it; or separate ourselves from the company of profane sinners, come out from among them, and touch not their unclean things; or join with them in their unfruitful works of darkness:

we should not be judged;
by the Lord; he would not inflict these diseases, sicknesses, and death.

1 Corinthians 11:31 In-Context

29 For the one who eats and drinks, [if he] does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.

30 Because of this, many [are] weak and sick among you, and quite a few {have died}.

31 But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 But [if we] are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, in order that we will not be condemned with the world.

33 So then, my brothers, [when you] come together in order to eat [the Lord's supper], wait for one another.
