11 ²⁷ It follows that anyone who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of desecrating the body and blood of the Lord. 11 ²⁸ A man must test himself before eating his share of the bread and drinking from the cup. 11 ²⁹ For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks judgement on himself if he does not discern the Body. 11 ³⁰ That is why many of you are feeble and sick, and a number have died. 11 ³¹ But if we examined ourselves, we should not thus fall under judgement. 11 ³² When, however, we do fall under the Lord's judgement, he is disciplining us, to save us from being condemned with the rest of the world.

11 ³³ Therefore, my brothers, when you meet for a meal, wait for one another. 11 ³⁴ If you are hungry, eat at home, so that in meeting together you may not fall under judgement. The other matters I will arrange when I come.
