Study note
Setting — Paul writes to the Corinthian church to address their improper conduct during the Lord’s Supper, urging them to examine themselves before partaking.
The words — παιδευόμεθα (paideuometha) = we are disciplined [G3811]; κρινόμενοι (krinomenoi) = being judged [G2919].
The thread — The concept of divine discipline appears in Proverbs 3:11, Hebrews 12:5, and Psalm 118:18.
Why it lands — The text states that God’s judgment operates as corrective discipline rather than final condemnation, requiring believers to accept His correction without fleeing to worldly standards.
