1 Corinthians 11:29 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. Eateth and drinketh damnation - Κριμα, Judgment, punishment; and yet this is not unto damnation, for the judgment or punishment inflicted upon the disorderly and the profane was intended for their emendation; for in 1 Corinthians 11:32, it is said, then we are judged, κρινομενοι, we are chastened, παιδευομεθα, corrected as a father does his children, that we should not be condemned with the world.
