Tosafot on Menachot
Do you punish [even for a positive commandment: of this type]. For a man is not obligated to purchase a cloak that requires [tsitsit], if [he] does not [have one]. But concerning a full positive commandment (in which the Torah obligates us to do something), even the earthly court may strike him until he dies.

Rashi on Menachot
