1 Corinthians 11:28 Context
26For as often as ye eate this bread, and drinke this cup, yee doe shew the Lords death till he come. 27Wherefore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup of the Lord vnworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himselfe, and so let him eate of that bread, and drinke of that cup. 29For hee that eateth and drinketh vnworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe, not discerning the Lords body. 30For this cause many are weake and sickly among you, and many sleepe.
