²²What, have you no houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.

²³For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

²⁴And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.

²⁵In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

²⁶For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

²⁷Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁸But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice.

²⁹For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

³⁰Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep.

³¹But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

³²But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.

³³Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

³⁴If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.
