But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

When God judges and disciplines his people (see Deuteronomy 8:5; Hebrews 12:5–11), it is for their ultimate benefit. This ensures they are not condemned with the world (see Ephesians 2:1–3).

Paul discusses issues with how the Corinthians interact with each other and with the Lord during the Lord's Supper.
