    7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

    8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

    9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Suggested context · 1 Corinthians 11:17–34

The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

11:17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

11:18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

11:19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

11:20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

11:21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

11:22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

11:23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

11:24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

11:25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

11:26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

11:27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

11:28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

11:29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

11:30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

11:31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

Selected passage

11:32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Selected passage

11:33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

11:34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
