But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:32 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul calls our punishment a chastening, because it is more like admonition than condemnation, more like healing than vengeance, and more like correction than punishment. He makes the present seem less burdensome by comparing it with a greater evil from which we shall escape, namely, the judgment of the world.
