- But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
- For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.
- For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.
- Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,
- for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.
|
- What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
- For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;
- and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
- In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
- For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
|
- Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
- But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
- For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.
- For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.
- But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.
|
- But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
- So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
- If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
