I do not praise! 23For I--I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread, 24and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye--to the remembrance of me.' 25In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it --to the remembrance of me;' 26for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth--till he may come; 27so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord: 28and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink; 29for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord. 30Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many; 31for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged, 32and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned; 33so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye; 34and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange. ‹Previous chapter1 Corinthians 10Next chapter1 Corinthians 12›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions1 Corinthians 11 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
