1 Corinthians 11:27-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated 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.(A) 28 Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup.(B) 29 For all who eat and drink[a] without discerning the body[b] eat and drink judgment 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.(C) 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined[d] so that we may not be condemned along with the world.(D)
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If you are hungry, eat at home,[e] so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.(E)

1 Corinthians 11:27-34
New American Standard Bible
27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way, shall be (A)guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But a person must (B)examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the [a]body. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number [b](C)are asleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are (D)disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with (E)the world.
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If anyone is (F)hungry, have him eat (G)at home, so that you do not come together for judgment. As to the remaining matters, I will (H)give instructions (I)when I come.
