Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - Many are weak and sickly among you. St. Paul directly connects this general ill health with the abuse of the Lord's Supper. It is not impossible that the grave intemperance to which he alludes in ver. 21 may have had its share in this result; but apart from this, there is an undoubted connection between sin and sickness in some, though not, of course, in all cases (John 5:14). Many. The word is different from the previous word for "many," and means a larger number - " not a few," "a considerable number." Sleep; i.e. are dying.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) For this cause--i.e., because you do not regard these feasts, to which the Lord's Supper is joined as gatherings in a common body, but eat and drink to excess, and so gain no spiritual advantage, but actually physical evil, many are weak and sickly.And many sleep.--Better, and some die. Even death sometimes resulted from their drunken orgies, either naturally, or by God's direct visitation.
