1 Corinthians 11:29-30

1 Corinthians 11:29-30. 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.
