31 But if we judged ourselves in the right way, God would not judge us.

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 because all who eat the bread and drink the cup without recognizing the body eat and drink judgment against themselves.

30 That is why many in your group are sick and weak, and many have died.

31 But if we judged ourselves in the right way, God would not judge us.

32 But when the Lord judges us, he punishes us so that we will not be destroyed along with the world.

33 So my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.
