    28A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

    29For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.

    30That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.

    31But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged.

    32But 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 come together to eat, wait for one another.

    34If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

    25In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying,“This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
