20. Therefore when you come together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper.
21. For in eating, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. One goes hungry, and another becomes drunk.
22. What? Do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
23. I have received of the Lord that which I delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which He was betrayed, took bread.
24. When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take and eat. This is My body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
25. In the same manner He took the cup after He had supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
26. As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
27. Therefore whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29. For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30. For this reason many are weak and unhealthy among you, and many die.
31. If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
32. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we would not be condemned with the world.
