This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
30. ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ἄρρωστοι. If the body be the temple of the Lord (ch. 1Co 6:19), we can well understand how a crime against His Body and Blood (1Co 11:27) would tend to deprive the body of any Christian who committed it of His presence, and predispose it to sickness and even death. This is the judgment of which the Apostle speaks in 1Co 11:29. Cf. also Joh 5:14.
ἱκανοί. Literally, a considerable number, even more than the number of those who are weak and sickly. For κοιμῶνται see 1Co 7:39. Render, are sleeping, referring to their present condition.
