1 Corinthians 11:27-34 - Self-Examination
27 so that whosoever eats this bread, and drinks this cup without respect to the Lord, does make a criminal use of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man then sift and approve himself, and accordingly let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 for he that eats and drinks in a disrespectful manner, not discriminating the Lord's body, eateth and drinketh to his own punishment. 30 hence it is, that many are weak and sickly among you, and no small number now sleep in their graves. 31 for if we made such a discrimination, we should not be punished. 32 but when we are punished, we are chastised by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, stay for one another. 34 and if any one is press'd with hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not otherwise meet with punishment. as for other matters, I will set them in order when I come.
