Or despise ye
the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say
to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.

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,

11:24. And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my
body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of
me.

11:25. In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying:
This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as
you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

11:26. For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice,
you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

11:27. Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice
of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of
the Lord.

Or drink... Here erroneous translators corrupted the text, by putting
and drink (contrary to the original) instead of or drink.

Guilty of the body, etc., not discerning the body, etc... This
demonstrates the real presence of the body and blood of Christ, even to
the unworthy communicant; who otherwise could not be guilty of the body
and blood of Christ, or justly condemned for not discerning the Lord's
body.

11:28. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and
drink of the chalice.

Drink of the chalice... This is not said by way of command, but by way
of allowance, viz., where and when it is agreeable to the practice and
discipline of the church.

11:29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh
judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

11:30. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many
sleep.

11:31. But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

11:32. But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we
be not condemned with this world.

11:33. Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for
one another.

11:34. If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not
together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

1 Corinthians Chapter 12

Of the diversity of spiritual gifts. The members of the mystical body,
like those of the natural body, must mutually cherish one another.

12:1. Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you
ignorant.
