1 Corinthians 11:20-29

Darby Translation

²⁰ When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.

²¹ For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

²² Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.

²³ For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

²⁴ and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ In 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.

²⁶ For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

²⁷ 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.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
