21. For each one first takes his own supper to eat. And as a result, one person is hungry, while another is inebriated.
22. Do you not have houses, in which to eat and drink? Or do you have such contempt for the Church of God that you would confound those who do not have such contempt? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I am not praising you in this.
23. For I have received from the Lord what I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the same night that he was handed over, took bread,
24. and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: "Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
25. Similarly also, the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he returns.
27. And so, whoever eats this bread, or drinks from the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be liable of the body and blood of the Lord.
28. But let a man examine himself, and, in this way, let him eat from that bread, and drink from that cup.
29. For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself, not discerning it to be the body of the Lord.
30. As a result, many are weak and sick among you, and many have fallen asleep.
31. But if we ourselves were discerning, then certainly we would not be judged.
32. Yet when we are judged, we are being corrected by the Lord, so that we might not be condemned along with this world.
33. And so, my brothers, when you assemble together to eat, be attentive to one another.
34. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you may not assemble together unto judgment. As for the rest, I will set it in order when I arrive.
