1 Corinthians 11:27-34

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Partaking of the Supper Unworthily

²⁷ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For all who eat and drink^[a] without discerning the body,^[b] eat and drink judgement against themselves. ³⁰ For this reason many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.^{[c] 31} But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged. ³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined^[d] so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

³³ So then, my brothers and sisters,^[e] when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴ If you are hungry, eat at home, so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.
