B. Rebuke of Disorders at the Lord's Supper.................... 11:17-34 1Co 11:17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.1Co 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.1Co 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.1Co 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.1Co 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.1Co 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.1Co 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. |
