1 Corinthians 11:20-34

Murdock(i) 20 When therefore ye come together, ye eat and drink, not as is becoming on the day of our Lord. 21 But, one and another proceedeth to eat his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What! have ye no houses in which ye can eat and drink? Or, despise ye the church of God, and shame them who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I praise you not. 23 For I have received from our Lord, that which I imparted to you; that our Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and blessed, and brake it, and said: " Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for your sakes: thus do ye, in remembrance of me." 25 So, after they had supped, he gave also the cup, and said: " This cup is the new testament in my blood: thus do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent. 27 He therefore, who eateth of the bread of the Lord, and drinketh of his cup, and is not worthy of it, is guilty of the blood of the Lord, and of his body. 28 For this reason, a man should examine himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this cup: 29 for, whoever eateth and drinketh of it, while he is unworthy, eateth and drinketh condemnation on himself, by not discerning the body of the Lord. 30 For this cause, many among you are diseased and sickly, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by our Lord, we are really chastised, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my Brethren, when ye assemble to eat, wait ye one for another. 34 And let him who is hungry, eat at home; that ye may assemble, not for condemnation. And as to other things, I will give you directions when I come.
