23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered unto you: that the Lord Jesus, during the night in which He was betrayed, took bread;

24 and having given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which has been broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

25 Likewise 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 until He comes.

27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord irreverently will be guilty of the body of the Lord and of the blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and drink from the cup.

29 For he that eats and drinks irreverently eats and drinks judgment to himself, not judging correctly the body of the Lord.

30 Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and many have died.
