1 Corinthians 11
1. He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,
4. their men prayed with their heads covered,
6. and women with their heads uncovered;
17. and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse;
21. as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper.

But when we are judged by the Lord
This phrase emphasizes divine judgment, which is distinct from human judgment. In the context of 1 Corinthians 11, Paul addresses the Corinthians' improper conduct during the Lord's Supper. The judgment here is corrective, not punitive, reflecting God's role as a loving Father who disciplines His children (Hebrews 12:6). This judgment is meant to bring believers back into alignment with His will, highlighting God's sovereignty and righteousness.

we are being disciplined
Discipline from the Lord is a recurring theme in Scripture, often associated with love and correction (Proverbs 3:11-12). This discipline is intended for spiritual growth and maturity, akin to a parent guiding a child. It serves as a reminder of the believer's relationship with God, who desires holiness and righteousness in His people (1 Peter 1:15-16). The discipline is not meant to be punitive but restorative, aiming to correct behavior and attitudes that are not in line with God's standards.

so that we will not be condemned with the world
This phrase underscores the distinction between believers and the world. The "world" often refers to those who live apart from God's covenant and are subject to final judgment (John 3:18). Believers, through Christ, are spared from this condemnation (Romans 8:1). The discipline ensures that believers remain separate from worldly influences and are prepared for eternal life with God. It reflects the eschatological hope that believers have in Christ, who has overcome the world (John 16:33).

Teaching Points
Understanding Divine Discipline
God's discipline is an expression of His love and care for us, not a sign of rejection.

Purpose of Discipline
The goal of divine discipline is to prevent us from being condemned with the world, guiding us towards holiness and righteousness.

Responding to Discipline
Our response to God's discipline should be one of humility and repentance, recognizing it as a call to align our lives with His will.

Contrast with the World
Believers are set apart from the world; while the world faces condemnation, we are refined and corrected by God's loving hand.

Living in Light of Discipline
Embrace discipline as a necessary part of spiritual growth, leading to a deeper relationship with God and a more Christ-like character.(32) But when we are judged.--This verse explicitly declares that the condemnation following an unworthy partaking was not final condemnation, but temporal suffering to save them from being condemned with the heathen.
