    29For the one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

    30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

    31But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under judgment.

    32Nevertheless, when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world.

    33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, wait for one another.

    34If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give further instructions.
