Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 11:31

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

31. if we would judge ourselves —Most of the oldest manuscripts, read "But," not "For." Translate also literally "If we duly judged ourselves, we should not be (or not have been ) judged," that is, we should escape (or have escaped ) our present judgments. In order to duly judge or "discern [appreciate] the Lord's body," we need to "duly judge ourselves." A prescient warning against the dogma of priestly absolution after full confession, as the necessary preliminary to receiving the Lord's Supper. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-32" class="com-number"
