1 Corinthians 11:28-30
New English Translation

28 A person should examine himself first,[a] and in this way[b] let him eat the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard[c] for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.[d]

  2. 1 Corinthians 11:28 tn Grk “in this manner.”
  3. 1 Corinthians 11:29 tn The word more literally means, “judging between, recognizing, distinguishing.”
  4. 1 Corinthians 11:30 tn Grk “are asleep.” The verb κοιμάω (koimaō) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.
