For I myself received from the Lord the account that I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus the night he was betrayed took some bread and gave thanks for it and then broke it in pieces, saying, "This is my body which takes your place. Do this in memory of me." He took the cup, too, after supper, in the same way, saying, "This cup is the new agreement ratified by my blood. Whenever you drink it, do so in memory of me." For until the Lord comes back, every time you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you proclaim his death. Hence anyone who eats the bread or drinks from the Lord's cup in a way that is unworthy of it will be guilty of profaning the body and the blood of the Lord. A man should examine himself, and only when he has done so should he eat any of the bread or drink from the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks, eats and drinks a judgment upon himself if he does not recognize the body. This is why many of you are sick and ill and a number have fallen asleep. But if we recognized our own condition, we would not incur this judgment. But since we do incur it, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned along with the world. So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings may not bring down a judgment upon you. The details I will settle when I come.
