31 If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should 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 any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.

30 That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.

31 If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.

33 Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
