1 Corinthians 11:27-34

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in the right way. Don’t do it in a way that isn’t worthy of him. If you do, you will be guilty. You’ll be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ Everyone should take a careful look at themselves before they eat the bread and drink from the cup. ²⁹ Whoever eats and drinks must recognize the body of Christ. If they don’t, judgment will come upon them. ³⁰ That is why many of you are weak and sick. That is why a number of you have died. ³¹ We should think more carefully about what we are doing. Then we would not be found guilty for this. ³² When the Lord judges us in this way, he corrects us. Then in the end we will not be judged along with the rest of the world.

³³ My brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, you should all eat together. ³⁴ Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home. Then when you come together, you will not be judged.

When I come, I will give you more directions.
