SCRIPTURE

"For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep." — 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 (ASV)

Not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

God is always carrying out a system of discipline in his Church.

To a large extent, he lets the world, for the present, sin, as it pleases; but in his own family he uses the rod; and when the Lord's supper is dishonoured, there is no doubt that the sickness and sleep here mentioned still follow.
