What is written? (ESV)
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
What does it say?
Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord’s supper in an unworthy manner is guilty concerning His body and blood. Therefore, examine yourself and then partake; eating and drinking without discerning the body brings judgment upon yourself.
What is its immediate context?
Paul writes to the church in Corinth giving many admonitions and instructions about their worship practice. In this case, he’s admonishing about the divisions created by their inappropriate Lord’s Supper practices.
