    29 For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

    30 For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

    31 But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

    32 But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

    33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

    34 If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

    20 But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

    21 For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

    22 What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

    23 For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

    24 And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

    25 In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

    26 For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

    27 If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
