1 Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Self-examination is advantageous, as it — I. GIVES US A TRUE SENSE OF OUR CONDITION. II. INCLINES US TO BE FAVOURABLE AND TENDER IN OUR CENSURE OF OTHERS. III. RENDERS US CAUTIOUS LEST WE CONTINUE TO OFFEND.

PREVENTS US FROM ENTERTAINING VAIN CONFIDENCE AND PRESUMPTION. (J. Williamson.)
