Warning Against Unworthy Participation

1 Corinthians 11:27-34

so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord.

Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
