The Lord's Supper

17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, ¹I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,^a

19 for ²there must be factions among you in order ³that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, ⁴another gets drunk.

22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise ⁵the church of God and ⁶humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

23 For ⁷I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that ⁸the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for^b you. Do this in remembrance of me."^c

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death ⁹until he comes.

27 ¹⁰Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord ¹¹in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning ¹²the body and blood of the Lord.

28 ¹³Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some ¹⁴have died.^d

31 ¹⁵But if we judged^e ourselves truly, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged by the Lord, ¹⁶we are disciplined^f so that we may not be ¹⁷condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers,^g when you come together to eat, wait for^h one another--

34 ¹⁸if anyone is hungry, ¹⁹let him eat at home--so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things ²⁰I will give directions ²¹when I come.
