1 Corinthians 11:20–34

²⁰So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, ²¹for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.^g As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. ²²Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God^h by humiliating those who have nothing?ⁱ What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?^j Certainly not in this matter!

²³For I received from the Lord^k what I also passed on to you:^l The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, ²⁴and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,^m which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁵In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenantⁿ in my blood;^o do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.^p

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.^{q 28}Everyone ought to examine themselves^r 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.^{s 31}But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.^{t 32}Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined^u so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.^v

³³So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. ³⁴Anyone who is hungry^w should eat something at home,^x so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.

And when I come^y I will give further directions.
