1 Corinthians 11:32

Judged. The sufferings that the Lord permitted to come upon the Corinthians because of their careless celebration of the ordinance were a merciful means of dealing with their failures. The disciplining was intended to save them from continuing in such transgression. It is better for us to be “chastened of the Lord” in this life, and be led to change our way from that which is not according to His will to that which He approves of, than to continue in sin and be lost eternally (see 1 Cor. 5:5; 1 Tim. 1:20). Suffering results in refining and purifying the life of the true believer (see Heb. 12:5–11).

Condemned with the world. This refers to the final condemnatory judgment, from which there is no reprieve. The “world” comprises all who refuse to repent of their sins, to humble themselves before God, and to accept Jesus as their Saviour. These are accounted worthy of eternal death (see Ps. 34:16; Eze. 18:24; Mal. 4:1, 2; 2 Thess. 1:8, 9).
