1 Corinthians 11:28-34

English Standard Version

²⁸^(A)Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. ³⁰That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some ^(B)have died.^[a] ³¹^(C)But if we judged^[b] ourselves truly, we would not be judged. ³²But when we are judged by the Lord, ^(D)we are disciplined^[c] so that we may not be ^(E)condemned along with the world.

³³So then, my brothers,^[d] when you come together to eat, wait for^[e] one another— ³⁴^(F)if anyone is hungry, ^(G)let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things ^(H)I will give directions ^(I)when I come.

1 Corinthians 11:28-34

New International Version

²⁸Everyone ought to examine themselves^(A) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. ²⁹For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. ³⁰That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.^(B) ³¹But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.^(C) ³²Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined^(D) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.^(E)

³³So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. ³⁴Anyone who is hungry^(F) should eat something at home,^(G) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.

And when I come^(H) I will give further directions.
