1 Corinthians 11:25

1 Corinthians 11:25

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

23 For ^aI received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: ^bthat the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said,¹ “Take, eat; this is My body which is² broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death ^atill He comes.

Examine Yourself

27 Therefore whoever eats ^athis bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and¹ blood of the Lord.

28 But ^alet a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For he who eats and drinks¹ in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the² Lord’s body.

30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many¹ sleep.

31 For ^aif we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, ^awe are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

After supper (meta to deipnhsai). Meta and the articular aorist active infinitive, "after the dining" (or the supping) as in Luke 22:20.

The new covenant (h kainh diaqhkh). For diaqhkh see on Matthew 26:28. For kainov see on Luke 5:38; Luke 22:20. The position of estin before en tw aimati (in my blood) makes it a secondary or additional predicate and not to be taken just with diaqhkh (covenant or will).

As oft as ye drink it (osakiv an pinhte). Usual construction for general temporal clause of repetition (an and the present subjunctive with osakiv). So in verse I Corinthians 11:26.
