1 Corinthians 11:20-21

11:20 Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper. 11:21 For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.

1 Corinthians 11:26-29

11:26 For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

11:27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 11:28 A person should examine himself first, ¹  and in this way ²  let him eat the bread and drink of the cup. 11:29 For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard ³  for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.
