²⁹ For he who eats and drinks ^[a]in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the ^[b]Lord’s body.

Examine Yourself

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats ^(A)this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and ^[a]blood of the Lord.

³⁰ For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many ^[a]sleep.

The Untamable Tongue

3 My brethren, ^(A)let not many of you become teachers, ^(B)knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

¹⁴ But solid food belongs to those who are ^[a]of full age, that is, those who by reason of ^[b]use have their senses exercised ^(A)to discern both good and evil.

³² But when we are judged, ^(A)we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ Therefore, my brethren, when you ^(B)come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

² Therefore whoever resists ^(A)the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will ^[a]bring judgment on themselves.

¹² But above all, my brethren, ^(A)do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into ^[a]judgment.

²⁴ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ^[a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is ^[b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
