    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.

    20Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper.

    21For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

    22Do you not have houses so that you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show contempt for the church of God by shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!

    23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

    24and after he had given thanks he broke it and said,“This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

    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.”

    26For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

    27For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
