23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you—how the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took a loaf of bread,
24 gave thanks for it, and broke it in pieces, saying,"This is my body that isfor you. Keep doing this in memory of me."
25 He did the same with the cup after the supper, saying,"This cup is the new covenant in my blood. As often as you drink from it, keep doing this in memory of me."
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks from the cup in an unworthy manner will be held responsible for the Lord's body and blood.
28 A person must examine himself and then eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 For the one who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
30 That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.
