1 Corinthians 11:24-34

24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25In the same way He also took 1the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the 2new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death 3until He comes.

27Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way, shall be 4guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But a person must 5examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the 6body. 30For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number 78are asleep. 31But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are 9disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with 10the world.

33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If anyone is 11hungry, have him eat 12at home, so that you do not come together for judgment. As to the remaining matters, I will 13give instructions 14when I come.
