1 Corinthians 11:17-34 - Improper Conduct At The Lord's Supper
17 But I tell you this, not to praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first, when you come together in an assembly, I hear that there are divisions among you, and some part of it I believe. 19 For it is necessary that there should be heresies among you, that the approved may be manifest among you. 20 When you come together therefore, it is not to eat the Lord's supper, 21 for each one in eating takes his supper before the rest, and one is hungry and another drunk. 22 Have you not [food] to eat and drink at your houses? or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who have not [houses]? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you? In this I commend you not.
23 For I received of the Lord, what I also delivered to you; that on the night in which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread 24 and giving thanks broke, and said, This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me.
25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant [sealed] with my blood; this do, as often as you drink, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you declare the Lord's death till he comes.
27 So that whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily, is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup; 29 for he eats and drinks judgment to himself, who eats and drinks not discerning the body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you and some sleep. 31 For if we judged ourselves we should not be judged; 32 but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another. 34 If any one is hungry let him eat at home, that you come not together for judgment. The other things I will arrange when I come.
