Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Corinthians 11:32

"But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." — 1 Corinthians 11:32 (ASV)

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

You know that a man will see a great deal that is wrong in children in the street, and say nothing about it; but if it is his own who is up to mischief, he will give him a sweet taste of the rod. So, if you belong to God, you cannot sin deeply without having a present judgment, a present discipline; and you ought to be thankful for it, painful though it may seem at the time, because when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Perhaps somebody thought just now, "I do not want to be in the Church of Christ if it gets special chastening." That is one among many reasons why I do want to be in the Church of Christ, for we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
