1 Corinthians 11:27

Self-Examination

27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body[a] and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:27 In-Context

25 In the same way [He] also [took] the cup, after supper, and said, "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 proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.
