1 Corinthians 11

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

23 Ref For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;

24 Ref and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 Ref In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink `it', in remembrance of me.

26 Ref For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come.

27 Ref Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28 Ref But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 Ref For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

30 Ref For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

31 Ref But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

23 Ref For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

24 Ref and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'

25 Ref In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink `it' -- to the remembrance of me;'

26 Ref for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come;

27 Ref so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

28 Ref and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

29 Ref for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

30 Ref Because of this, among you many `are' weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

31 Ref for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

King James Version (KJV)

23 Ref 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:

24 Ref And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 Ref After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 Ref For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

27 Ref Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 Ref But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 Ref For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30 Ref For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 Ref For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
