²⁹Anyone who eats and drinks must recognize the body of the Lord. If he doesn’t, God will judge him for it. ³⁰That is why many of you are weak and sick. That is why a number of you have died.

³¹We should judge ourselves. Then we would not be found guilty. ³²When the Lord judges us, he corrects us. Then we will not be judged along with the rest of the world.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

NLTNew Living Translation

For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
