• But if we have fallen, it is not enough to judge the action; it is ourselves we must judge, and the state of heart, the tendency, the neglect, which occasioned our falling into the evil—in a word, that which is not communion with God or that which hinders it. It was thus the Lord dealt with Peter. He did not reproach him for his fault, He judged its root. (“1 Corinthians 11” by J.N. Darby)

JND Translation Notes

n
"Judged ourselves" is not the same in Greek as "judged," used later in this ver. and in ver. 32, but as "distinguish the Lord's body," ver. 29. But "distinguish" does not imply the active exercise of judgment on our own state, nor a formal scrutiny. Here the force is, If I scrutinize and judge myself, I shall not come under an actual judgment from the Lord's hand. Judging oneself has this force in English, while the Lord's judgment is felt to be a positive result of judgment exercised towards us.
