Seeker Overlay ON

* But [in ] prescribing [to you on ] this [which I now enter on ], I do not praise , [namely ,] that ye come together , not for the better , but for the worse . * For first , when ye come together in assembly , I hear there exist divisions among you , and I partly give credit [to it ]. * For there must also be sects among you , that the approved may become manifest among you . * When ye come therefore together into one place , it is not to eat [the ] Lord 's supper . * For each one in eating takes his own supper before [others ], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess . * Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking ? or do ye despise the assembly of God , and put to shame them who have not ? What shall I say to you ? shall I praise you ? In this [point ] I do not praise . * For I received from the Lord , that which I also delivered to you , that the Lord Jesus , in the night in which he was delivered up , took bread , * and having given thanks broke [it ], and said , This is my body , which [is ] for you : this do in remembrance of me . * In like manner also the cup , after having supped , saying , This cup is the new covenant in my blood : this do , as often as ye shall drink [it ], in remembrance of me . * For as often as ye shall eat this bread , and drink the cup , ye announce the death of the Lord , until he come . * So that whosoever shall eat the bread , or drink the cup of the Lord , unworthily , shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord . * But let a man prove himself , and thus eat of the bread , and drink of the cup . * For [the ] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself , not distinguishing the body . * On this account many among you [are ] weak and infirm , and a good many are fallen asleep . * But if we judged ourselves , so were we not judged . * But being judged , we are disciplined of [the ] Lord , that we may not be condemned with the world . * So that , my brethren , when ye come together to eat , wait for one another . * If any one be hungry , let him eat at home , that ye may not come together for judgment . But the other things , whenever I come , I will set in order .
