1 Corinthiens 11:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:30

For this cause many are weak and sickly
Because of their unworthy participation of the Lord's supper, many in the Corinthian church were attended with bodily infirmities and diseases; either by way of fatherly chastisement and correction in such who were truly the Lord's people, though they had behaved unworthily; or by way of punishment to such who were not, and had sinned very grossly:

and many sleep;
that is, die a corporeal death, which is often in Scripture signified by sleep, and frequently used of the saints, and their death, and may intend and include some of them here; for though the Lord might resent so far their unworthy conduct and behaviour at his table, as to remove them out of this world by death, yet their souls may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

1 Corinthiens 11:30 In-Context

28 Que chacun donc s'éprouve soi-même, et qu'ainsi il mange de ce pain et boive de cette coupe;

29 Car celui qui en mange et qui en boit indignement, mange et boit sa condamnation, ne discernant point le corps du Seigneur.

30 C'est pour cela qu'il y a parmi vous beaucoup d'infirmes et de malades, et qu'un grand nombre sont morts.

31 Car si nous nous jugions nous-mêmes, nous ne serions point jugés.

32 Mais quand nous sommes jugés, nous sommes châtiés par le Seigneur, afin que nous ne soyons point condamnés avec le monde.
