What does 1 Corinthians 11:32 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
Barnes' Notes
We are chastened of the Lord. It is his act; and it is not vengeance and wrath; but it is to be regarded as the chastisement of a father's hand, in order that We should not be condemned with the wicked. We are under the discipline (παιδευομεθα) of the Lord; we are dealt with as children, and are corrected as by the hand of a father. Compare Heb 12:5-10, 2Cor 6:9. The design of God's correcting his children is, that they should be reclaimed, and not destroyed.
That we should not be condemned with the world. It is implied here,
(1.) that the world--those who were not Christians--would be condemned;
(2.) that Paul regarded the Corinthians, whom he addressed, and who had even been guilty of this improper manner of observing the Lord's Supper, and who had been punished for it, as true Christians; and,
(3.) that the purpose which God had in view in inflicting these judgments on them was, that they might be purified, and enlightened, and recovered from their errors, and saved. This is the design of God in the calamities and judgments which he brings on his own children. And so now, if he afflicts us, or leave us to darkness, or follows the communion with the tokens of his displeasure, it is that we may be recovered to a deeper sense of our need of him; to juster views of the ordinance; and to a more earnest wish to obtain his favour.
(b) "we are chastened" Ps 94:12,13, Heb 12:5-11

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:23-34
The apostle describes the sacred ordinance, of which he had the knowledge by revelation from Christ. As to the visible signs, these are the bread and wine. What is eaten is called bread, though at the same time it is said to be the body of the Lord, plainly showing that the apostle did not mean that the bread was changed into flesh. St. Matthew tells us, our Lord bid them all drink of the cup, ch. Mt 26:27, as if he…
