27 Therefore whoever eateth the bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. [And so whoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, he shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.]

28 But prove a man himself, and so eat he of that bread, and drink he of the cup [and drink of the cup].

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh doom to him[self] [eateth and drinketh doom, or damnation, to himself], not wisely deeming the body of the Lord.

30 Therefore among you many be sick and feeble, and many sleep.[a]

31 And if we deemed wisely us selves [For if we deemed wisely ourselves], we should not be deemed;

32 but while we be deemed of the Lord, we be chastised, that we be not condemned with this world.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, abide ye together.

34 If any man hungereth [If any man hunger], eat he at home, that ye come not together into doom. And I shall dispose other things, when I come.

  1. 1 Corinthians 11:30 Therefore among you many be sick and unstrong, or feeble, and many sleep, or die.

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

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

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