1 Corinthians 11:27-34
English Standard Version
27 (A)Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord (B)in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning (C)the body and blood of the Lord. 28 (D)Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some (E)have died.[a] 31 (F)But if we judged[b] ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, (G)we are disciplined[c] so that we may not be (H)condemned along with the world.
33 So then, my brothers,[d] when you come together to eat, wait for[e] one another— 34 (I)if anyone is hungry, (J)let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things (K)I will give directions (L)when I come.

Lexham English Bible
27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a person examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and let him drink from the cup. 29 For the one who eats and drinks, if he[a] does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself. 30 Because of this, many are weak and sick among you, and quite a few have died[b]. 31 But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But if we[c] are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, in order that we will not be condemned with the world.
33 So then, my brothers, when you[d] come together in order to eat the Lord’s supper,[e] wait for one another. 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining matters whenever I come.
