24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." |
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." |
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. |
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. |
28 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. |
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. |
30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. |
31 But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. |
32 When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. |
33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. |
34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come I will give further directions. |
