1 Corinthians 11:28 - Arno Geneva Study Bible

Bible Comments

(20) But let (l) a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.

(20) The examination of a man's self, is of necessity required in the supper, and therefore they ought not to be admitted to it who cannot examine themselves: such as children, furious and angry men, also such as either have no knowledge of Christ, or not sufficient, although they profess Christian religion: and others that cannot examine themselves.

(l) This passage overthrows the idea of the faith of merit, or undeveloped faith, which the papists maintain.
