1 Corinthians 11:17-34
Sharing in the Lord’s Supper

17 Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

17:

18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

18:

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

19:

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

20:

21 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

21:

22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.

22:

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread:

23:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

24:

25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.

25:

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

26:

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

27:

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.

28:

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

29:

30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

30:

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

31:

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

32:

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

33:

34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

34:
