1 Corinthians 11:29

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.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when you ^acome together to eat, wait for one another.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

1 Corinthians 11:29

Eateth and drinketh damnation - , Judgment, punishment; and yet this is not unto damnation, for the judgment or punishment inflicted upon the disorderly and the profane was intended for their emendation; for in I Corinthians 11:32, it is said, then we are judged, , we are chastened, , corrected as a father does his children, that we should not be condemned with the world.
