Inner Judgment, Inner Health

1 Corinthians 11:30-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context

Scripture Focus

30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1 Corinthians 11:30-32

Biblical Context

The passage warns that some among you are weak, sick, or asleep because you have not judged your own state. If you examine and revise yourself, you avoid being judged and corrected by the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment you can see the verses as a map of inner life. The 'weak' and 'sickly' are not merely bodily conditions but the result of a mind that accepts fear, blame, and separation. The 'sleep' is the dream of being governed by appearances rather than by the I AM. To 'judge yourselves' is to audit your present state with the truth of your being, to refuse to identify with a limited story. When you stand in the awareness of the I AM and choose not to entertain the old verdict that you are at the mercy of circumstance, chastening arrives as a gentle correction of inner vision. The Lord’s discipline is inner renewal, not punishment—until your thoughts, feelings, and choices align with wholeness. By revising the self-concept you avoid condemnation by the world, and health and freedom emerge. Your task is to assume, revise, and feel-it-real the state of one who is loved, guided, and kept by the I AM.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and see the self you judged dissolving in the light of your I AM; then assume a new state: 'I am whole, healthy, and guided by the I AM.' Feel that state as real in your chest for 2 minutes, letting the old story fall away.
