23 For I received from the Lord what, also, I delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which we was betrayed, took a loaf;

24 and, having given thanks, he broke it; and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.

25 In like manner, also, the cup, after he had supped; saying, This cup is the new institution in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 For as often as you eat this loaf, and drink this cup, you openly publish the death of the Lord, until he come.

27 So, then, whosoever shall eat this loaf, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the loaf, and drink of the cup.

29 For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body of the Lord.

30 For this cause, many among you are weak and sick, and a considerable number are fallen asleep.
