11:32
Paul does not see the judgement as final, rather it is discipline from God. We need to appreciate that discipline from God is good for us, it is to save us from condemnation, and to improve our lives. Heb 12:4-11 is an important section in Hebrews that expands on this matter.
11:33,34
Paul now rounds off this section. They should all eat together. In 1 Cor 10:17 Paul said we are body because we all share in the one loaf, the sacrifice of Christ. He then gives very practical advice, if you are hungry eat at home first. So we see a deeply spiritual matter, the Lord’s Supper, and very practical advice going together. Paul then promises to bring them further instructions when he next visits them. We never get to know what these “further instructions” are.
