²³For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread,^* ²⁴and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for^v you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁵In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.^*

Partaking of the Supper Unworthily

²⁷Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord.^* ²⁸Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup.^* ²⁹For all who eat and drink^w without discerning the body^x eat and drink judgment against themselves. ³⁰For this reason many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.^y ³¹But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged.^* ³²But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined^z so that we may not be condemned along with the world.^*

³³So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴If you are hungry, eat at home,^a so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.^*
