1 Corinthians  11           COME TOGETHER TO EAT. MAKE YOUR COMMUNITY ONE, NEVER DESTROY COMMUNITY. “WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER TO EAT, WAIT FOR ONE ANOTHER.”
[23]  For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,  [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."  [25] In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."  [26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you announce the Lord's death until he comes.  [27]  Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a contemptible manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.  [28] Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.  [29] For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.  [30] That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.  [31] But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.  [32] But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.  [33]  So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another --  [34] if any one is hungry, let him eat at home -- lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
