11.29 Judicium sibi manducat. Quæritur quomodo hoc, cum Dominus dicat: Qui manducat me, ipse vivet propter me? Sed duo sunt modi manducandi: unus sacramentalis, quo manducant tam boni quam mali; alius spiritualis, quo soli boni. Et hoc est non solum Christum manducare et in sacramento ejus corpus accipere, sed in ipso manere, et habere ipsum in se manentem. Spiritualiter enim manducat, qui in unitate Ecclesiæ (quam ipsum sacramentum significat) manet. Nam qui discordat a Christo, nec carnem Christi manducat, nec sanguinem bibit, etsi tantæ rei sacramentum ad judicium quotidie sumat.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ διακρίνων τὸ σῶμα

not distinguishing the body

Here, body could refer to: (1) the “church,” which is the body of Christ (for a similar use of body, see 12:27). The point would be that people are behaving during the Lord’s Supper in a way that does not respect fellow believers, who are the body of Christ. Alternate translation: [without discerning that fellow believers are the body] (2) the presence of the body of Christ in the Lord’s Supper itself. The point would be that believers are participating in the Lord’s Supper in a way that does not respect how Christ’s body is present in the bread and wine. Alternate translation: [without discerning the presence of the Lord’s body]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κρίμα ἑαυτῷ, ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει

judgment ˱on˲_himself /is/_eating and /is/_drinking

Here Paul speaks as if people could “eat and drink” judgment. By speaking this way, Paul means that the result of their “eating and drinking” is not physical or spiritual nourishment but judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [is judged as a result of eating and drinking] or [eats and drinks with the result that he receives judgment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κρίμα ἑαυτῷ

judgment ˱on˲_himself

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind judgment, you can express the idea by using a verb such as “judge.” Paul implies that “God” is the one who is doing the “judging.” Alternate translation: [with the result that God judges him] or [the fact that God will judge him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἑαυτῷ

˱on˲_himself

Here, himself is written in masculine form, but it refers to anyone, no matter what their gender might be. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind himselfby using a word that does not have gender, or you could use both genders. Alternate translation: [to himself or herself]
