Context of 1 Corinthians 11:27
25In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me. 26For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come. So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:27
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27Whosoever shall eat - and drink - unworthily - To put a final end to controversies and perplexities relative to these words and the context, let the reader observe, that to eat and drink the bread and wine in the Lord's Supper unworthily, is to eat and drink as the Corinthians did, who ate it not in reference to Jesus Christ's sacrificial death; but rather in such a way as the Israelites did the passover, which they celebrated in remembrance of their…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27Wherefore - ( ̔́ hōste). So that, or it follows from what has been said. If this be the origin and intention of the Lord‘s Supper, then it follows that whoever partakes of it in an improper manner is guilty of his body and blood. The design of Paul is to correct their improper mode of observing this ordinance; and having showed them the true nature and design of the institution, he now states the consequences of partaking of it in an improper manner…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-34Verses 23-34 The apostle describes the sacred ordinance, of which he had the knowledge by revelation from Christ. As to the visible signs, these are the bread and wine. What is eaten is called bread, though at the same time it is said to be the body of the Lord, plainly showing that the apostle did not mean that the bread was changed into flesh. St. Matthew tells us, our Lord bid them all drink of the cup, ch. Mt 26:27, as if he would, by this expression…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27Taking the Lord’s Supper without understanding its importance or with unconfessed sin is unworthy (see 11:28–31). It is like sinning against the body and blood of the Lord; it treats his sacrificial death as unimportant (compare Hebrews 10:29).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. eat and drink--So one of the oldest manuscripts reads. But three or four equally old manuscripts, the Vulgate and Cyprian, read, "or." Romanists quote this reading in favor of communion in one kind. This consequence does not follow. Paul says, "Whosoever is guilty of unworthy conduct, either in eating the bread, or in drinking the cup, is guilty of the body and blood of Christ." Impropriety in only one of the two elements, vitiates true communion in…Read the comment
