1 Corinthians 11:27-34

New International Version

²⁷So 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) ²⁸Everyone ought to examine themselves^(B) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. ²⁹For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. ³⁰That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.^(C) ³¹But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.^(D) ³²Nevertheless, 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)

³³So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. ³⁴Anyone 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.

1 Corinthians 11:27-34

New American Standard Bible

²⁷Therefore 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. ²⁸But a person must ^(B)examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the ^[a]body. ³⁰For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number ^[b]^(C)are asleep. ³¹But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. ³²But when we are judged, we are ^(D)disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with ^(E)the world.

³³So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴If 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.
