For, I myself, received from the Lord - that which I also delivered unto you, - how that, the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was being delivered up, took a loaf, And, giving thanks, brake it, and said - This, is my body, which is for you, - this, do ye, in remembrance of me; In the same manner, the cup also, after they had taken supper, saying - This cup, is, the new covenant in my blood, this, do ye, as often soever as ye may be drinking it, in remembrance of me. For, as often as ye may be eating this loaf, and, the cup, may be drinking, The death of the Lord, do ye announce, until he come. So that, whosoever may be eating the loaf, or drinking the cup of the Lord, in an unworthy manner, shall be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man be proving himself, - and, so, of the loaf, let him eat, and, of the cup, let him drink; For, he that is eating and drinking, - judgment unto himself, doth eat and drink, - if he be not setting apart the body.

If, however, we had been setting, ourselves, apart, we had not, in that case, been coming under judgment; But, being brought under judgment, by the Lord, are we being disciplined, lest, with the world, we should be condemned. So then, my brethren, - when ye come together for the eating, unto one another, be giving welcome: - If anyone be hungry, at home, let him eat, lest, unto judgment, ye be coming together. And, the remaining things, whensoever I come, I will set in order.
