1 Corinthians 11:31

“For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 11

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
