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.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he [a]discern not the body. 30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31 But if we [b]discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But [c]when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
